Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans (14-20) committed a season-high six errors in a 6-3 loss to the Windy City ThunderBolts (13-21) on Tuesday.



After a scoreless first, the ThunderBolts pulled ahead in the second and never looked back. With a pair of singles to begin the inning of Zac Westcott (loss, 2-5), Paul Coumoulos' fielder's choice brought home the opening run.


A two-out error forced Westcott to continue the third, where he surrendered an RBI single to Peyton Isaacson, seeing the ThunderBolts double their lead.


Following two more errors in the fourth, the ThunderBolts were able to push across a pair of runs and make it 4-0.


Westcott would re-take the mound in the fifth and toss a scoreless frame. The veteran righty would get the hook after five, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits, walking three, and striking out five.


The Titans' offence got some life in the bottom of the fifth against right-hander Taylor Suggs (win, 2-1) with a pair of runs on four hits. Jamey Smart brought home Sicnarf Loopstok's lead-off double with an RBI single, then Manny Garcia's ground-rule double plated another run as Jackie Urbaez scored.


Suggs would exit after five and allow two runs on eight hits, walking two, and fanning three.


With two runs in the seventh and eighth, the ThunderBolts were able to pull away in the series opener against Chris Burica.


Austin Marozas would force home a Jamey Smart walk with a wild pitch in the eighth, seeing the Titans make it a 6-3 game.


In total, two of the six runs that the Titans allowed on Tuesday went down as earned in the series opener.


On the offensive side of the ball, Sicnarf Loopstok went 3-for-5 with a double. It marked the eighth multi-hit performance for Loopstok since joining the club.
