WOLFFORTH — They hadn’t met in district play before, but watching the series from the stands you wouldn’t know it.
The Frenship Tigers and Monterey Plainsmen started their rivalry in a big way last week as the Tigers won the first district series between the teams, two games to one.
The first game at Monterey went to the Plainsmen, 3-2, after Ryan Almager hit a one-run double in the sixth inning off of Frenship star and Texas Tech signee Stephen Smith. Smith’s win-loss total on the season moved to 4-1 as he struck out 10 opposing batters while only walking two.
