2008 comes to an end at Disney!

The Titan magic ran out while at Disney in the semi-finals of the consolation bracket against the Shore Gulls (8-5). The squad finished the Disney tournament with a 2-4 mark but lost 3 of the 4 games by 3 runs or less.

The Kennesaw Titans advanced to the semi-finals by securing a 12-2 victory over the Cayman Island team behind a strong performance by Robert Daly. After the 8am contest, the team came back for a 1pm game against the Gulls. After the game before them ran over, the contest started at 1:45pm. The Titans fell behind 2-0 and then had an hour + rain delay and the delay threw starting pitcher off his game and the squad fell behind 5-o. However, the team came flying back in the top of the 5th inning with a 5 run explosion - then the rains came again....too stay. After leaving the field, the team waited until 6pm to hear that the game had been cancelled and that they would finish the contest on Wednesday at 9am. The momentum gained on Tuesday was gone on Wednesday and the Gulls pulled away with an 8-5 victory.

It has been an incredible year for the Titan team who finished the spring (42-14-2) and their combined fall & spring record was (50-17-2)!

The team will take a few week break and then many of the squad will return, with some new additions, to begin workouts in preparation for their fall high school teams!

Thanks to the Titan sponsors and parents who made this "magical season" possible!!
