BASEBALL SQUAD The reign of the Gas City Tigers over the Grant County Baseball Championship for three consecutive years came to an end this year. The defeat came at the hands of the Jefferson Yeoman who scored three runs to our one. The defeat gave us a record of five wins and one loss for the season.
