The Titans put up two runs in the fifth inning to take a lead they did not give back as the Tomcats left eight runners on base in the game.

In game two the Titans tallied four runs in the second inning to give them a 4-0 advantage after two.

The Tomcats answered in the third with a two-run single by Daniel Patrice (Munich, Germany/EST) to score Filippo Costanzo (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick) and Jake Marino (Pittsfield, Pa./Youngsville) closing the gap to 5-2 after three.

Thiel did not score another run after the third and left seven runners on base in the game as they fell 7-2.
