GM Tigers, 

We're closing in on the season's end for 2023. It's sad but true. No worries, though! We have two more weeks to vibe out. After the National Team plays on the week of August 6th, the newsletter will take a break. We will be going to a monthly publication in September. 


In this week's Tiger Rundown:

1. Northern Illinois Schwabb takes PG Midwest WWBA ( Picture of the Week) 

2. These plays we're off the hook! ( Tiger Teams) 

3. 15U Mach + Project Hope ( Story of the week)

Jackson Barnes, it seemed like a typical drop third strike, but then the runner on third got greedy (watch it here) 

#2 Play of the Week- "Leather Looks Fresh" 15U Northern Illinois  

Everything was going right for the Schwab Tigers in Iowa. Blake Swanson made this look easy. But also, how about that scoop? (Watch it here)

#3 Play of the Week- "We Have a Guy" 16U St. Louis

A Tiger on Tiger crime was made in Nashville, and it happened in left field.
