Justin Woodard, Craighead, Daniel Ashburn, and Brandon Noles scored the other runs. The Tigers came from behind in the bottom of the 7th to win the game by a final score of 5-4.

In the second game on the 18th, the Tigers were just a step behind Livingston. The Wildcats scored the first two runs before Macon could tie the game 2-2 after 5 innings. Johnny Brown went the distance and pitched a good game striking out 13 and only giving up 1 earned run. The Tigers commit two costly errors and the Wildcats get the victory 3-2 with only four hits. Jessie Gregory went 1 for 3 and scored a run while Craighead went 2 for 3 and scored a run.

On the 20th the Westmoreland Eagles came back to town. Justin Woodard threw 51 strikes in 78 pitches and collects the win. In 7 innings he gave up 8 hits and 1 earned run with 3 strike-outs. Clay Carnahan went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs. The middle of the scorecard, Craighead, Ashburn, Jacob and Johnny Brown, Hunter Williams, and Boone, combine for all bulk of the scoring as Macon get the win by a final score of 6 to 3.

This week the Tigers are set to host Smith Co on the 25th and travel to Friendship on the 26th.
