A chilly night all the way around with the Titans(20-7-1) falling in a league contest to the Shaw Park Sidewinders 6-3. The Titans were not able to come through with men on and fell short to the Shaw Park team who did enough to avenge an early season loss to the Titans.
The Titans will now prepare to host the Clash of the Titans which begins on Thursday evening!

Titans tourney update!
The Kennesaw Titans spent their Sunday at Creekview High School doing the impossible and taking three games to capture the Mizuno Jr. Grizzlies Tourney Championship.
The Kennesaw Titans found themselves in the first round facing off against another group of Titans from Northview. Tyler Ayres once again did his thing by shutting down the Titans and the Kennesaw team plated 6 runs to send the Northview squad home with a 6-0 defeat. The win advanced the squad to the semi-finals matchup against the Coal Mountain Raiders.
DaMarkus Green took the hill and pitched some strong innings kept the Titans in the game. Jordan Williams came on relief to the finish the game and quieted the Raider bats and finished out the contest. The Titans bats also came alive and the squad scored 9runs to walk away with a 9-5 victory.
The championship game found the squad squaring off against the team that they had defeated the day before, the North Georgia Nitro. After their loss to the Titans, the Nitro run ruled every opponent in advancing to the championship. Jordan Williams took the mound and went three strong innings and then Robert Daly came on to throw four solid frames and keep the hard-hitting Nitro team off the board. The team finished the long day with a 9-3 victory!
The weekend saw some spectacular plays by: Scoop Villalobos at shorstop with some acrobatic plays that drew raves from the Creekview High School coaches, Hector Ortega who made a diving grab in right field, Casey Linch who continued his strong glove work at first base and Connor Austin who threw out 7 runners trying to advance in the tourney. The Titan pitchers once again dominated on the hill with some incredible outings by Tyler Ayres, DaMarkus Green, Robert Daly, Brent Duncan & Jordan Williams. The Titan pitchers this season have watched their hitters plate 176 runs while they have only yielded 58.
The squad saw some huge two out hits by Mitch Risley, Moose Monasterski, Cole Ragsdale, Jordan Williams and some power from Scoop Villalobos, Tyler Ayres & Connor Austin who drove some 300 foot shots into the alley's at Creekview High.
The weekend was the picture of a total team effort and each Titan played a part in the tourney championship!! What a weekend it was to be a Titan!!
