The Titans didn’t fare well in the first game against Arkansas, as Noe Ramirez gave up an uncharacteristic 7 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings to the Razorbacks. Tyler Pill took the ball with the bases loaded and gave up two hits which earned him two runs, but then settled down and pitched well for 4 innings. Then Nick Ramirez came in to relieve Tyler with one man on and allowed that run to score giving the Razorbacks a comfortable 10 runs for the game.
Offensively the Titans couldn’t seem to string anything together to get some runs on the board early and ended up leaving too many men on base. Toward the end of the game, they had started to shift the momentum, but it ended up being a case of too little too late, and the game ended 10-6 in favor of the Razorbacks.
This means in order to stay alive in Omaha, the Titans will have to battle back from the losers bracket against a tough Virginia team, who is making their first ever College World Series appearance. The Titans and Cavaliers have met before in post season play with the Titans taking the victory. Will they be victorious again today? It remains to be seen, and in my opinion will depend on whether the Titans have lost their Omaha jitters or not. Daniel Renken will be on the bump and if the Titans play Titan ball, we should see them emerge from the loser’s bracket to battle another day. The Titans do have a history of fighting well out of the loser’s bracket, so may the best team win and may they be wearing orange and blue.
Go Titans!
