Wade Stephenson had a double, with singles being rapped out by Daw, Brian McArter and Adam Corbett.

On the other side, Tigers coach Murray Kellington said they got all the bounces. “It was one of those games when everything goes right,” he said. “We got great hitting and our defence was good.” The Tigers hosted the Wroxeter Rippers on Aug. 10.
