The Patriots scored first this past Friday, but the Tigers took control with 6-yard touchdown run from fullback Spencer Carpenter and a 15-yard TD catch by Doug DeLorenzo in the first quarter and a 10-yard scoring run from Carpenter early in the second period that made it 20-7.
Quarterback Andrew Gleason and halfback Trey Kaufmann also ran for scores for the Tigers. Gleason’s 22-yard run at 9:35 of the third quarter made it 33-16.
