BPA Saturday Recap

Dalton, GA

The Titans (19-4-1) had their winning streak come to an end in the first game of the day(10am) at the BPA tourney at Lakeshore Park. The Cartersville Canes jumped out to an early lead and kept the Titans at bay in the opener of the day. The Canes behind some strong pitching and timely hitting walked away with a 6-1 victory.

The squad did not have long to sulk over the loss as they returned to the diamond at Heritage Point Park to battle the LFO Warriors at 2pm. Behind the strong pitching of Robert Daly and Brent Duncan the team kept the Warriors quiet and off the base paths and took home a 5-2 victory. The victory was the team's 20th of the young season!

After a break, the Titans then took on the Roswell Knights in the nightcap. After holding a 5-1 margin behind some timely hitting and the strong pitching of Tyler Ayres & Jordan Williams, the long day took hold and the Knights took advantage of some untimely errors and mental lapses and scored 8 runs to take a 9-5 lead going into the last inning. The Titans came roaring back scoring 2 more runs to close the gap to 9-7 and had the bases loaded when a pop-up ended the game. The loss sent the Titans(20-5-1) to the silver bracket for Sunday play in Dalton.

The team will be the #1 seed in the silver division and will take on the winners of the LFO Warriors and Eastside Trojans game. The battle will take place at 11am (Lakeshore Park/Dalton). The winner of that game will advance to silver championship at 3pm!
