Titans Select MCYSA Run Ends Against Brazil

The Titans Select 13U team from Nashotah had as many highs as lows during their run in the McHenry County Youth Sports Association Summer Championships in Crystal Lake, IL.

The Titans lost three of their four pool play games to start the tournament but found a mini-hot streak to begin bracket play before falling to Brazil.

Losing to Bison Baseball of Rockford, IL 17-7 and the Illinois Hitmen of Hampshire, IL 7-0 to start the tournament, the Titans looked like they were in for a rough ride. But the team beat Milwaukee's BOSS Orange 5-3 and then came just short to the Bartlett Silver Hawks (5-2).

The Titans then kicked off the single-elimination Silver bracket phase by blasting the Dominican Republic team 13-2 and squeezing past the Lake in the Hills Thunder 6-2.

But their run ended against Brazil 6-2.

The Titans averaged 3.5 runs a game while allowing an average of eight runs.
