Streak Ends

The Kennesaw Titans(11-3-1) streak of wins came to a halt late Monday night on a soggy field at Adams Park. The Titans spotted the Bats 7 runs in the top of the first and then held them there the rest of the game and then battled back with 5 runs of their own. Tyler Ayres came in relief of DaMarkus Green to hold the Bats down and Brent Duncan pitched two solid innings in relief. The Titans had the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth with one out down 7-5 and could not push the runs across.

The squad will return to action on Tuesday against the Sequoyah Chiefs at Adams Park and look to bounce back before the break! Hope to see you there!

Game on!

Bats game Postponed

Due to the wet fields, the field guys at Adams Park have closed the fields at the park which postpones the game with the East Cobb Bats. The Titans squad will get together for a good round of indoor bp today and then enjoy a steak dinner from the coaches. The dinner will take place at NorthStar!!

After starting starting the season with 2 losses, the coaches (me) bet the boys if they could get to 10-2 a steak dinner would be our treat.....now at 11-2 it is time to pay up!! Stay tuned for some great pictures from the evening!

Stay tuned for the rescheduling of the East Cobb Bats league game!

The Titans cranked up with the 9am game against the Creekview Grizzlies.

Long day

The Titans started the 2008 season with a hard-fought contest with the Hardball Warriors. The Hardball squad squeaked out a 1-0 win behind a complete game performance from their pitcher. The Kennesaw team sent 3 men to the hill (Green, Daly & Duncan) and each of them pitched fabulous! The Titans could not muster any rallies and behind an unearned run, the Warriors slipped by with a 1-0 victory.

The 2nd game of the day found the Titans once again with strong pitching from Ayres & Williams held a 5-2 lead going into the top of the 6th against the Dunwoody Renegades. The Renegades came roaring back and tied the game at 5-5. The Renegades went on to score 3 more but they were ruled as not to count due to an illegal substitution and a protest to the the tourney coordinator. The game went down in the official books as a 5-5 tie.

The squad will have to bounce back quickly on Sunday with a 9am start against the Creekview Grizzlies! Get some sleep Titans and get ready for a great day on Sunday!
