Tyler obtained two runs, one hit, one RBI, and one putout. Also pitching for the Bulldogs, he threw out 88 pitches to 18 batters striking out 11. Tylers 0.61 ERA is amongst the top in the state in all classifications. He is a four-year letterman and starter and has played every varsity position except second base and shortstop.
