Nick Nolen earned the win on the mound.

“This time of the year when you know you’re out of the playoffs — it’s hard to stay focused and play,” Red Level coach Tony Ingram said. “We came out flat and the players are disappointed in the season, but they picked it up and are finishing strong.”
The Tigers have two more games left in their season for 2010.
Red Level will travel to play Brantley on Thursday night at 4 p.m., and then on Friday, the Tigers finish at home against area opponent Excel at 4 p.m.
“If you can’t make the playoffs, the best you hope for is that you play your last game at home and win it,” Ingram said.
