Jamie Hammon, Bailee Weisz, Vanessa Dwyer and Marianna Politis are all smiles after big win over Huskies Saturday night
By Tim Peterson
The TCASA Titans are off and running in the 12 year old and under girls softball league. They have won six of their first seven games including two victories this week in which they racked up 18 runs.
“We have the look of a championship team,” said Titans’ Coach Bill Dwyer.
Indeed they do after beating Arcadia 8-6 on Thursday followed by a 10-2 win over the TC Huskies on Saturday at Live Oak Park.
Against Arcadia the Titans jumped out to an 8-0 lead before withstanding a late Arcadia surge to win by two. In the Saturday night affair the Titans raced out to a 10-0 advantage and never looked back. Here’s how it went.
Saturday 3-20
TC Titans 10 TC Huskies 2
(Live Oak Park)- Bailee Weisz, Vanessa Dwyer, Marianna Politis, Jaime Hammon, Nicole Schabow and Summer Hofstad all reached base and scored in the first inning as the Titans exploded out of the gate for a 6-0 lead and went on to win 10-2.
Weisz scored three times in the contest playing the lead off role to perfection and Dwyer scored twice hitting in the number two spot.
Politis drove in two runs and Alexa Smith also knocked in one as the Titans scored another run in the second inning and three more in the fourth.
Dwyer started the game on the mound and threw all five innings for the Titans keeping the Huskies at bay.
Thursday 3-18
TC Titans 8 Arcadia 6
(Longley Way) – The Titans got two runs in the first and five more in the second to jump out to a seemingly comfortable 7-0 advantage. However they had to white knuckle it late in the contest as Arcadia responded with six runs but the Titans held on 8-6.
Bailee Weisz and Vanessa Dwyer both scored in the first inning to get the Titans started. In the second Jessica Alvarado, Summer Hofstad, Kaitlyn Gibson, Audrey Enriquez, and Alexis Estrada all crossed the dish as the Titans broke it open.
TCASA Titans have a record of 6-1 so far this season
Nicole Schabow came home in the third to extend it to 8-0 and the Titans were on cruise control.
However Arcadia got off the floor for six in the fifth inning and had the tying runs on base with two outs. But Dwyer closed it out by going to her knees to smother a comebacker and then getting up and gunning the throw to first to end it.
Dwyer started the game and went four innings before being relieved. She then re-entered the contest when Arcadia came storming back.
