The Linden-Kildare Tigers beat district foe Daingerfield, 10-4, on April 1.
The game was scoreless until Daingerfield scored twice in the top of the fourth.  
L-K answered with a nine-run rally in the bottom of the inning that included a bases-clearing hit by Jordan Craver.
Craver was able to score on an apparent inside-the-park grand slam but an error by the center fielder wiped that stat out.
