#3 Seed for Sunday
The Titans (15-3-1) returned to the diamond after their "Spring Break" and picked up where they left off before the break. The first game found the "rusty" Titans squeezing out a 4-3 victory over the Cherokee Pride, who the Titans have handled each time they have played over the past 2 seasons. Behind the strong pitching of Robert Daly & Brent Duncan, the Titans scored just enough to manage a victory. Casey Linch at first base made a great swipe tag of a runner to finish the game!
After a four hour break between games, the Kennesaw team faced off against the North Georgia Nitro in a great battle. The Nitro proved to be a formidable squad and after the Titans took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first, the Nitro scored 3 in the 2nd off starter DaMarkus Green. Jordan Williams came on in relief in the third inning and pitched through the 5th and shut down the hot Nitro bats. The Titans scored 3 more of their own in the bottom of the 4th on some huge hits by Cole Ragsdale, Connor Austin, Hector Ortega & Jordan Williams. The team took a 5-3 lead going into the top of the 5th. The Nitro were able to push across one more run to close the gap to 5-4 but with 2 outs, hard throwing Tyler Ayres came on to record the final out.
The Titans finished pool play 2-0 and are the #3 seed overall out of the 12 tourney teams. Sunday will find them squaring off for the first time at noon against the Northview Titans at the beautiful field of Creekview High School. The winner will face the Coal Mountain Raiders at 4pm and the winner of that game will go to the championship!
Should be a great day of baseball!!

What a finish!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008 - North Cobb High School
The Titans finished off the first half of their season with a bang by a thrilling come back win over the Shaw Park Sidewinders! The Titans entered the final frame down 5-3 and behind a 380foot double by Brent Duncan and an infield hit by "Scoop" Villalobos the Titans had runners at 1st and 3rd. After a steal by Villalobos which put runners in scoring position, Mitch Risley promptly hit a sharp single to left to plate the lead runner and Villalobos moved to third. Now down 5-4 the Sidewinders gave a intentional walk to hot-hitting DaMarkus Green who was 3-3 on the night. Titans cleanup hitter Robert Daly now found himself with the bases loaded and he promptly drilled a double to left center to plate the winning runs! Once again Brent Duncan came in to the game in relief and held the Sidewinders to help the Titans get back in the game.
The win helped the Titans finish the first half (13-3-1) and go to Spring Break with two wins out of three nights. The squad will now enjoy a week off before returning to the diamond for practice on April 13 at 4pm.
