OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE - GAME 2


Ottawa, ON - In need of a bounce back, the Ottawa Titans (49-37) swept a massive doubleheader, beating the Sussex County Miners (30-56) by a 5-1 final in Game One and 1-0 in Game Two, taking two of three in their midweek series on Thursday night.


Game One - Ottawa 5, Sussex County 1


Four members of the offence chipped in with multi-hit performances - and were backed by six quality innings by Bryan Peña (win, 7-5) to snap a two-game losing streak in the opener.


The Titans' left-hander escaped early trouble, as the Miners had runners on the corners on two separate occasions in the early stages - but were unable to plate the opening run.


In the third, a leadoff double from Tony Gomez found its way to score the opening run, as Oraj Anu delivered with an RBI groundball.


After being held off the board for 13 and two-thirds, the offence turned the tide - getting a two-out RBI single from Brendan O'Donnell in the bottom of the third inning to tie the score. Next, Lamar Briggs poked a double to the right-centre gap to put the Titans up 2-1.


In the fifth, Briggs connected yet again with an RBI double - making it 3-1.


After the run-scoring groundball in the third - Peña was dominant the rest of the way, facing the minimum, and retiring 10 of the final 11 batters to end the night. Overall, Peña went six - allowing one run on four hits, walking three, and striking out five.


Needing some insurance, the Titans manufactured a pair of runs off Matt Stil in the sixth - as a walk from Taylor Wright stole second and third, setting up an infield RBI single from Michael Fuhrman. After Fuhrman stole second, AJ Wright chopped an RBI single to right, making it 5-1.


Scott Prins fanned two of the three batters he faced in a clean seventh to secure the win.


Game Two - Ottawa 1, Sussex County 0


With the benefit of one hit from the offence - Grant Larson (win, 6-4) contributed six and two-thirds masterful innings to help the Titans to a crucial sweep of the doubleheader.


Against right-hander Charlie Neuweiler (loss, 2-5), the lone run in the contest came off the Titans getting the first two on in the second inning. Peyton Isaacson reached on an E5, and Lamar Briggs walked, setting up a sac bunt from Taylor Wright. With two in scoring position, Christian Ibarra lifted a sac fly to right - making it 1-0.


The support was enough for Larson - who had quick inning after quick inning - allowing just five base runners in the win.


Larson went six and two-thirds, allowing no runs on four hits, not walking a batter, hitting one, and striking out three in the win.


After inheriting the tying run on at first with two down in the seventh - Erasmo Piñales (save, 22) fanned the lone batter he faced to complete the win.


The Titans win both ends of a doubleheader for the third time this season - winning the season series 7-5 over the Miners.


The Ottawa Titans hit the road for their final three-game set away from the capital against the Tri-City ValleyCats on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. from Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy, New York. All the action can be heard on CKDJ 107.9 and 94,5 Unique 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.
