GARDINER — Wins have been tough to come by for the Gardiner football team on its home field this season. And there was nothing easy about the Tigers’ 26-14 playoff victory against Brewer at Hoch Field on Friday night. The Tigers dominated time of possession but had trouble scoring inside the 10-yard line and weren’t able to pull away until late in the fourth quarter when quarterback Dennis Meehan threw a 23-yard strike to Josh Moore in the end zone.
