The Titans scored first in the pitcher-dominated game as they scored in the second inning off Panther starter Evan Steimle. Steimle did a great job during the contest as he only gave up the 1 run, 5 hits and walked 3 during his 4 innings of work.
The host Panthers scored an unearned run in their fourth at bat as Steimle reached on a single and moved to third on a Sawyer Copeland single. When Carter Hadaway walked on a wild pitch, Steimle was able to score the tying run.
In the Panther sixth, Steimle walked and Copeland reached on an error. Hadaway then grounded to third but an error allowed the lead run to score.
Panther Gavin VanDyke tried to keep the lead but 4 singles by the Titans allowed 2 runs to score and the Panthers weren’t able to do anything in their last at bat.
Head coach Jeff Wunderlich was disappointed in the offensive output again.”We are really struggling to reach base as the weather warms up. Our pitching is keeping us in games but we need to put some runs on the board. We have a busy week next week so hopefully things will turn!”
