2008 comes to an end at Disney!

The Titan magic ran out while at Disney in the semi-finals of the consolation bracket against the Shore Gulls (8-5). The squad finished the Disney tournament with a 2-4 mark but lost 3 of the 4 games by 3 runs or less.

The Kennesaw Titans advanced to the semi-finals by securing a 12-2 victory over the Cayman Island team behind a strong performance by Robert Daly. After the 8am contest, the team came back for a 1pm game against the Gulls. After the game before them ran over, the contest started at 1:45pm. The Titans fell behind 2-0 and then had an hour + rain delay and the delay threw starting pitcher off his game and the squad fell behind 5-o. However, the team came flying back in the top of the 5th inning with a 5 run explosion - then the rains came again....too stay. After leaving the field, the team waited until 6pm to hear that the game had been cancelled and that they would finish the contest on Wednesday at 9am. The momentum gained on Tuesday was gone on Wednesday and the Gulls pulled away with an 8-5 victory.

It has been an incredible year for the Titan team who finished the spring (42-14-2) and their combined fall & spring record was (50-17-2)!

The team will take a few week break and then many of the squad will return, with some new additions, to begin workouts in preparation for their fall high school teams!

Thanks to the Titan sponsors and parents who made this "magical season" possible!!

Hot Days - Cold Bats

After taking the first game of the Disney tourney, the Titans(41-13-2) stumbled through their next three games against Key West, Puerto Rico and the Southeast Idaho Cyclones. After a tough 3-0 loss to Key West, the Titans battled some poor umpiring that was truly game changing and ended up losing to the King Arecibo squad from Puerto Rico 15-3. The final day of pool play on Sunday once again found the Titans pitching solid from Brent Duncan & Jordan Williams but the the bats were cold and the squad came up short 6-4.

The loss sent the squad to the consolation bracket which begins on Tuesday. The team will work hard to bring home some tourney hardware from their great trip to Orlando!

Titans Come up Short in Game 2

The Kennesaw team (41-11-1)once again played another tough game in the Disney Festival against a strong Key West Squad but came up a little short in this 7 inning affair. The Titans battled but could not push across runs when they had the chance and came up short 3-0. DaMarkus Green went the way in the contest and all of the runs scored by the Key West team were unearned.

Brent Duncan will take the hill on Friday against Puerto Rico in pool play.

Titans win game one at Disney!

The Kennesaw Titans (41-10-2) opened their "Salute to Baseball Tourney" at Disney with a 2-0 dramatic victory over the Southside Express from Illinois. The game went into the bottom of the 6th inning tied 0-0 and then Sean "Scoop" Villalobos drove a triple to dead center at Champion Stadium at Disney (home of the Braves) and drove home Casey Linch to take a 1-0 lead. Mitch Risley then slapped a single down the 3rd base line driving home Villalobos to give the Titans a 2-0 lead.

Tyler Ayres went the distance in the shutout victory and only allowed 2 hits on the day to the tough Express team. The Titans also played a flawless game defensively to begin their week of baseball in hot Orlando!!
