Lemoore’s baseball season, after a promising start, came to a crashing end Thursday afternoon in Lemoore when Selma, in the Central Section, Division III playoffs, beat Lemoore 7-2 in the quarterfinal game.

The Tigers, who finished at 14-12 on the year, placed fourth in the West Yosemite League.  The Selma Bears will host Ridgeview in the Division III semifinals.

Jake Hansen went five innings for the Tigers. Selma scored twice in the fifth to take the lead. Lemoore tied the game sixth inning before the Bears scored five more in their half of the sixth.

The Tigers won 10 of their first 12 games before starting league play where they finished at 4-8, good enough for fifth place.
