OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE


Pomona, NY - The Ottawa Titans (21-25) fell 2-1 in an 8-inning rain-shortened series opener to the New York Boulders (26-18) on Monday evening.


Jamey Smart got the Titans on the board with a double to right-centre, scoring a Jason Dicochea one-out single.


Damon Casetta-Stubbs (loss, 2-3), got out of trouble in the first and was able to throw up a pair of zeros over the first two innings to keep his side in front.


Following a two-out single from Gabriel Garcia, Tucker Nathans put the Boulders in front for good with an opposite-field two-run blast. Nathans' eighth homer of the year put the Boulders ahead 2-1.


The Titans put themselves in a good position to strike in the middle innings but failed to push across a run against Chris Cepeda (ND, 0-1) and Aaron Dona (win, 4-1) throughout the rest of the contest.


AJ Wright led off the fourth with a double but was stranded aboard as Dona fanned a pair to get out of the inning. Then in the fifth, the Titans put a pair in scoring position against Dona with a Jamey Smart double, but the righty struck out Sicnarf Loopstok and got Taylor Wright to fly out to centre to end the inning.


Despite another quality start, Casetta-Stubbs was tagged with the loss after six innings of two-run ball allowing five hits and striking out four.


The Titans went to the bullpen in the seventh for rookie right-hander Andrew Roach, who struck out two in his first professional appearance. Roach was signed earlier in the day after being a member of Oral Roberts' run to the College World Series last month.


In the eighth, the rain intensified, leading to the tarp being rolled onto the field after just one pitch. Following a delay of nearly two hours, the game was called. 


Jamey Smart went 2-for-2 with two doubles, an RBI, and a walk. Jackie Urbaez was also able to extend his hitting streak to eight in a row by going 1-for-4. 


The Ottawa Titans continue their three-game set against the New York Boulders on Tuesday night at 6:00 pm at Clover Stadium in Pomona, New York. All the action can be heard on CKDJ 107.9 and 94,5 UNIK FM and live-streamed on Flo Baseball.

OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans (37-38) fell back under the .500 mark in an 11-3 loss to the Québec Capitales (52-24) on Friday - as the club suffered their fourth consecutive loss. Looking to do early damage, Marc-Antoine Lebreux clubbed a leadoff ground rule double to right off Titans starter Evan Grills (loss, 3-4) to kick off the game - ending up 90 feet away moments later on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Ruben Castro started the scoring with a sacrifice fly to right. Hector Sepulveda (win, 2-0) shut down any sort of momentum the Titans' offence had in mind through five and two-thirds of solid baseball. The right-hander allowed just three base runners over the first four innings, stranding a two-out walk and a Justin Fogel double in scoring position in the fourth inning. The Capitales rode the momentum from their starter to plate a leadoff Jesmuel Valentin single in the fifth inning to make it 2-0, as Anthony Quirion poked an RBI single to right. Sending nine to the plate in back-to-back innings against Grills, the Capitales poured it on with three in the sixth and four more in the seventh to put the game out of reach. Facing the Capitales for the third time in eight starts, Grills was done after six and two-thirds, allowing a season-high nine runs (eight earned) on ten hits, walking four, hitting two, and striking out two in the defeat. Taking advantage of three walks in the seventh inning, the Titans broke the scoreless bid from Sepulveda as Justin Fogel brought home Kaiden Cardoso's leadoff free pass with a sac fly to right. The Titans got to left-hander Franklin Parra in the eighth inning, connecting for two runs on three hits. With the bases loaded, AJ Wright grounded into a 5-4-3 double play, scoring a Cardoso leadoff single. Next, Fogel brought in his second of the night with an infield single, scoring Jake Sanford's double. After Brandon Marklund allowed an inherited runner to score in his third of an inning of work - right-hander Kyle Demi got the side in order in a clean eighth inning. Billy Duby surrendered a pair of runs in the ninth, going just two-thirds of an inning before Shane Gray took the hill to get the final out of the frame. Offensively, the Titans did not record their first hit until the fourth - then had to wait until the eighth for their remaining three hits. Justin Fogel went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI, while AJ Wright and Jackie Urbaez each walked twice. Jake Sanford went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. Kaiden Cardoso chipped in with a 1-for-2 night, also drawing a walk. The Ottawa Titans continue the homestand with the second of a three-game series against the Québec Capitales on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. at Ottawa Stadium. The final leg of the homestand will see Florence pay a visit for the first time since the 2023 season.
