The #8 seed Tigers had to grind through two games to win their fourth consecutive District Championship. In the first district playoff game, the Tigers defeated old time Metro League foe Sheridan 7-3.  Nerves showed early as the Tigers fell behind 2-0 after the top of the first and then again 3-2 going into the bottom of the third.  In the third, the Tigers took their first lead of the game putting up a four spot.  Jacob Tinnon would be hit with the first pitch of the inning.  Garrett West would single two batters later. Joe Walls would ignite the Tigers with a two run double on a 2-2 pitch.  Elliott would follow Walls with an RBI triple.  The Tigers would add one more insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.  Senior Lous Simpson would toss a complete game striking out seven. Develin Granberg and Jay Elliott would each tally two base hits

Bayfield would defeat Buena Vista 6-4 setting up the afternoon's championship matchup. Bayfield gambled and saved their ace for the championship game but the Tigers were more than equal to the challenge.  After spotting the Wolverines two runs to start the game, the Tigers would send the message early that they were not intimidated by statistics.  The Tigers would get two baserunner when Junior Jay Elliott came to the plate. With two outs Jay would square up a 2-1 pitch and promptly launch it over the left field fence for a 3-2 lead!  The Tigers would add another run in the third courtesy of Senior Joe Walls.  Bayfield would score single runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings to tie the game.  In the bottom of the fifth, tied 4-4, the Tigers would take the lead for good, Joe Walls would drive in his second run of the game. The Tigers would add one more unearned run in the frame.  After a scoreless sixth, the drama was about to unfold.  The Wolverines would load the base with no outs.  The Tigers would make a pitching change and Adrian Do would take the mound.  The game was very possibly decided on Do's 2-2 pitch to the Wolverine's seven hole hitter.  Do delivered a fastball to the plate that would be lined sharply to center.  As Elliott closed in on the ball, the runner on third retreat to the bag to tag up.  Elliott would catch the ball a mid depth and the runner took off for home.  Jay would rocket a perfect strike to home where Chris McManus would apply the tag.  Once the dust settle, the Wolverines were left with a runner at first and second with two outs.  Do would quickly strike out the next batter on four pitches!  Zach Trombley would earn the win and Do his first save of the season.

The Tigers will open the 3A State tournament against #1 Seed Faith Christian.  First pitch is scheduled for 10:00 on Friday at Butch Butler Field. GO TIGERS!!!

After grinding through one of 3A toughest schedules, Holy Family finished the season 13-5 and tied for second in the Metro League.  The Tigers’ efforts were good enough to earn them the right to be a District host for the 5^th consecutive year.  The top eight teams earn the right to host the first two rounds of the post season. The state seeding committee ranked the Tigers #8 overall in the 32 team bracket.

The Tigers will be hosting #9 Bayfield, #24 Buena Vista and #25 Sheridan. 

Bayfield (9):  Unquestionably the hottest team in this district.  The Wolverines enter the playoffs with a 10 game winning streak.  Bayfield ended the season with a 13-6 record and were crowned the Intermountain League Champs.  The Wolverines will lean on a stout offense that has ripped 72 extra base hits, including 10 homeruns.  Bayfield boast two quality pitchers.

Similar opponents: Manitou Springs 15-14 (W) and 11-0 (L)

Key Wins: The Classical Academy 5-2 and 1-0

Just before spring break, Senior Garrett West committed to attend and play baseball at Augustana College (Div III).  West will be playing first base and possibly third base for the Vikings.  In 2011, Garrett West ranked among the top offensive players on the Tigers Club including leading the team in stolen bases.  His performance earned him first team all conference honors in 2011. Garrett has not slowed down his offensive production in 2012 and once again is leading the Tigers in many offensive categories.

Augustana’s Coach, John Furlong, commented at the signing, “We need a left handed bat to add power to our lineup, Garrett brings the type of skills we need. We are excited to have him.”  Congratulations to Garrett. The Tiger family wishes you nothing but success this season and at the next level.

Congratulations to all the players who made one of the Tigers’ three spring teams.

The Holy Family Tiger baseball program is extremely pleased and excited to announce the hiring of Tom Dedin as varsity pitching coach.  Coach Dedin joins the Tigers’ coaching staff with over 39 years of head coaching experience, 23 at the collegiate level including Lewis University, Regis University and nine at the University of Illinois in the Big Ten Conference. Last but certainly not least, Coach Dedin coached TEAM USA in the fall of 1988 and summer of 1989.

Coach Dedin has tallied over 800 victories as a head coach and 600 of those at the collegiate level.  His track record of success has resulted in his induction to multiple hall of fames and invitations to be a clinician at several national and international clinics. 

There is no doubt Coach Dedin will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the coaching staff and will build on the recent success of the Tigers pitching staff!  His hiring will allow Coach Cowell to return as the catcher’s coach and focus on hitting instruction. There is no question the Tiger Baseball Program just got stronger! 

Coach Dedin will be formally introduced to the baseball player and families at October’s informational meeting.
