Time for Battle
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.
Titans Demolish the Cardinals in 12-0 Shutout

On the Brink of Super Regionals
There is a sense of expectancy as we await first pitch tomorrow night at Goodwin Field at 7:30 p.m. as the Cal State Fullerton Titans face off against the Louisville Cardinals to see who will win the honors to advance to Omaha, and the College World Series.
Titans Advance to Super Regionals
Finishing the year strong, the Cal State Fullerton Titans won 19 of their last 22 games, including a sweep of their biggest rival, the Long Beach State Dirtbags. During that series, Freshman pitcher, Tyler Pill broke the Titan record for most wins as a Freshman pitcher finishing up at 10-3 during regular season play.

Titans Win Series Over Cal Poly Mustangs
This morning, we await to see whether the Titans will complete the sweep of the Cal Poly Mustangs or whether the Mustangs will put together enough runs to down the Titans. The real question, will freshman hurler, Tyler Pill, give my friend Kelly a win for mother’s day? Need I say, I really want Tyler to get the win? Anyway, let’s take a look back at how we reached this point.

Titans Winning Streak Continues
Tuesday night the Titans took the field against the Arizona Wildcats. We have enjoyed seeing them home for a while and the two-game Arizona series finishing Wednesday will be the end of six straight home games. Kevin Rath got the nod for starting pitcher. Mid-week games usually have what we in the stands call pot-luck pitching. You start with one, and it’s kind of like a sampler plate, by the time you reach the end of the game, you’ve sampled almost the entire bull-pen. Well, the game ran a little different than normal in that the Titans used only 3 pitchers for the entire game. Kevin Rath went 5 innings, then Travis Kelly pitched 3, and Nick Ramirez came in to close the game out. The Titan pitchers combined for 11 strike outs during the game.
Back on Track Against the Gauchos
The Titans have been struggling of late playing conference games at home. While they are on the road, every one heaves a sigh of relief because their performance on the road has been nothing short of stellar. With an away record of 17-4 and Neutral field (which were actually played in Oklahoma – so to me were also away) of 2-0, they are a tough opponent when not at Goodwin field. However, going into the series against Santa Barbara this past weekend, we were 10-8 at home. The fans in the stands are not used to watching our team lose quite that often during a season overall, and the chatter was how we would be lucky to have a chance to host the regionals this year. Everytime someone would mention that, into my brain popped the rebuttal – but we’re number 6 in the nation!

Tigers Down Titans 5-4
For the first time in 19 tries, the Pacific Tigers beat the Cal State Fullerton Titans. It was bound to happen sooner or later. We were all hoping for later.
Titans Crush Highlanders for Series Win
The Titans have finally broken the curse that they seem to play under at Riverside’s stadium. Prior to this weekend, the CSUF Titans had only won one game at the Highlander’s home. So it was exciting to see the Titans smash that bogey to smithereens today when they not only won the series, but won to the tune of 18-1. For the momentous occasion, Tyler Pill led the defense and notched another win to improve to 5-0 on the season. Tyler pitched for 7.0 innings, giving up 5 hits and no runs. He struck out 6 and pitched 72% strikes. We couldn’t be more proud of our section K pitcher, who by the way is only a Freshman, so we expect great things for Tyler over the next couple years. The comfortable lead that the Titan offense had created gave freshman Colin O’Connell his first appearance on the mound for the Titans. He pitched for an inning and gave up one unearned run, which was set up by an error on the part of Shevis Shima at 2nd base. Shevis made up for the error a couple of plays later by making a spectacular grab and put out.

Titans Even Series 1-1With Highlanders
The Titans have a few teams that always give them a problem, and the Riverside Highlanders just happen to be one of those teams. Our record against the Highlanders playing in Riverside is dismal, and when discussing whether or not to make the trip out to Riverside, that definitely plays a role. It’s not that we don’t support the team. We listen avidly to the struggle via the radio, and cheer for good plays and root them on when they need a little extra oomph. But, since I am working on getting my Nowhere Feels Like Home manuscript edited and ready to send out to my eagle eyed team to catch all the mistakes I have missed (and yes I miss a lot), a trip out to Riverside is asking for a big chunk of time away from the editing process, and if I am listening via radio, I can support my team as well as getting the manuscript whipped into shape.
