They were down 1 to 0 at the half and struggled to find offense throughout the entire game. In the second full 80 minute game of the day, the Tigers fell to the T-birds 3 to 2. East got on the board first, the Tigers answered with a goal by Austin Mivshek from a free kick by Gilbert Gonzalez. East was able to get another score before the half was over and lead 2 to 1 at the break. The Tigers looked a lot better in the second game but allowed another East goal to go down 3 to 1. Ron Halstead got a hit on the ball in the closing seconds from a free kick from Kevin Gold to pull the Tigers closer at 3 to 2. The Tigers missed some genuine scoring chances in this game including a half field shot from Kevin Gold that hit the crossbar.
