Titans Rookie Major Wins Gold in London
Submitted By tcwebmaster on Monday, July 22, 2019
This past weekend, the Rookie Major team took gold at the annual London Tecumseh tournament, winning all 5 games. After a rainout on Friday, the Titans won convincingly on Saturday over Sarnia and Burlington during the intense heat. Sunday started off slow as they were down by 5 early to Oakville; they would go on to win 15-6. After beating the Milton Mets in the semifinal 16-8, they were to face the Leamington Lakers in the championship game. Leamington had beaten the St. Thomas Cardinals 12-11 in their semifinal. The Titans had already suffered 3 losses to the Lakers this season, including a 8-7 loss in the final of the Leamington Laker Classic Tournament.
The Titans got off to a hot start, scoring 7 in the first. Leamington would inch their way to within 2 runs by the 6th inning. Unable to gain any insurance runs in the previous five innings, the Titans were able to muster 9 hits and 7 runs in the 7th, which was capped off by a 2-run double by the tournament MVP, Grady Richardson, sealing the victory.
Great job by Coaches Steve, Al, Mike, Dave and Greg to keep the guys focused.
