On a cold day in early February while the Titans were doing speed & agility and hitting in the indoor cages, the squad set a goal of 40 wins for the 2008 season! On a hot & muggy Saturday in late June, the team accomplished their goal while sweeping a doubleheader from a tough Murphy (NC) Eagles team (9-0 in game one and 7-0) in game two.
Behind the stellar two hit pitching in game one of Tyler Ayres and some powerful hitting by the Titan squad the team built a 9-0 lead and held the Eagles there for the duration of the contest. The team saw some of the best pitching they had seen all season and took advantage of some walks and key Eagle miscues in the field and added in some timely hits to get the 9 runs across the plate.
Game two saw Brent Duncan take the hill and one-hit the Eagles and DaMarkus Green came in to shut the door in the last inning to hold the 7-0 advantage. Green also hit his second homerun of the season off a hard throwing Eagles pitcher.
The Titans now head to Disney's Salute to Disney tourney with a 40-10-2 mark. After a Monday evening workout at Adams Park - the team will head to Disney and open the tourney on Thursday against a team from Illinois in Cracker Jack Stadium (The Braves spring training home).
