Titans prevail

The Kennesaw Titans (27-8-2) had not been in a game for over a week due to a rainout and a game that was canceled. The squad returned to action against the West Cobb Longhorns in a scrimmage game at Big Shanty Park in Kennesaw. The Titans took advantage of some walks in the top of the first with some timely hits to push the runners across and took a 9-0 first inning lead. The Longhorns bounced back with 4 of their own in the bottom of the first and it stayed that way until the third when the Titans scored another run on an infield fielders choice to take a 10-4 lead. The Longhorns turned the tables on the Titans by scoring 5 of their own in the bottom of the third to bring the score to 10-9. Tyler Ayres took the hill to get his work in and held the Longhorns there for the remainder of the game and the Kennesaw team then scored 8 in the top of the 5th to break open the game and eventually hold on for an 18-9 scrimmage game victory. The team will participate Saturday in an intrasquad game and return to action on Sunday June 9, 2008 at Adams Park.
