SCHULTE SHUTS DOWN SUN PRAIRIE -- Bryant Schulte allowed only three baserunners as he threw six shutout innings against visiting Sun Prairie on Thursday night.  Schulte's gem moved Albion to 4-0 in the Eastern Night League and 6-4 overall. Albion grabbed a lead in the third when Tim Houfe drew a leadoff walk and eventually scored after singles by Lars Olstad and Mike Nanstad.  The game stayed 1-0 most of the way until Albion added on four runs in the 6th on RBI hits from Zach Nelson and Dan Millar.  Reliever Adam Gregory stuck out two in a perfect seventh.    

TIGERS GO TO 3-0 IN NIGHT LEAGUE -- Mike Nanstad struck out the first five Monona Braves he faced, and Zach Nelson had four RBIs as the Albion Tigers won 6-2 in an Eastern Night League game on Thursday in Albion Park. Nanstad went four innings to collect the win and was backed up by three scoreless from Bryant Schulte.  The Tigers had taken a 1-0 lead on Lars Olstad's sac fly in the second, but Nelson's bases-loaded triple opened up a 5-0 lead for Albion in the fourth and they never looked back.  

TIGERS GANG UP ON THE GRAYS -- Ben Everson threw six solid innings and the Albion Tigers backed him up with 12 hits, all resulting in a 12-1 victory over the Lake Mills Grays on Memorial Day at Albion Park.  Zach Nelson had two doubles and 3 RBIs to lead the way for Albion, now 2-2 in the Southeast Section. 

EASTMAN, TIGERS DO IT AGAIN -- It's unlikely that the Albion Tigers will start calling Fort Atkinson's Jones Park "comfortable" anytime soon, but it sure was a nice place for the Tigers to be over the weekend as they won their second game there in four days, this one a 5-4 Southeast Section victory over the Generals. Josh Eastman did the work on the mound, pitching into the ninth before being relieved by Adam Gregory. Aaron Laskowski led off the game with home run, and Albion added what they needed with a four-run third inning, highlighted by Eastman's two-run single.

TIGERS OUTLAST GENERALS -- Zach Nelson's two-run single in the seventh forced extra innings, where the Tigers eventually prevailed 6-3 over the Fort Atkinson Generals in an Eastern Night League game on Thursday night. Pitchers Bryant Schulte and Adam Gregory each threw four innings before Aaron Laskowski threw a scoreless ninth to nail it down.

TIGER BATS EXPLODE -- The Albion Tigers took their bats to Marshall Thursday and used them all night long as they beat the host Firemen 11-5 in an Eastern Night League game.  The Tigers banged out 17 hits total, and it all started at the top of the order where Tyler Oren and Ben Everson combined to go 7x9 with 7 runs and 5 RBIs.  Jamie Shelley (3x4) and Josh Eastman (2x4) also added multiple hits for Albion.  Bryant Schulte started on the mound for the Tigers and earned his victory by allowing only one earned run in six innings of work. 

SCHULTE, EASTMAN LEAD TIGERS -- Jim Eastman went deep in the first inning and Bryant Schulte threw a complete game as the Albion Tigers earned a 5-3 win over Mazomanie in the Ashton Tournament. Schulte was a workhorse on the mound against Mazo, striking out 6 and walking 4 as he held the Mustangs to two earned runs.  Eastman's solo shot put Albion on the board in the first, and they added two more in the second when Tim Houfe doubled in Mike Nanstad and then came around to score on a throwing error.  The Tigers added their final two runs in the fourth on Ben Towns' two-run single to right.
