Baseball Game Preview: Union Titans vs. Battle Ground Tigers

The Union Titans will face off against the Battle Ground Tigers at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Union 3.1, Battle Ground 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Jacob Chandler made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just two earned runs off ten hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Union is 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 6-7 otherwise. Chandler was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.

The home team had come away the winner the last five times Battle Ground and Skyview had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Tigers never let the Storm get on the board and left with a 4-0 victory on Thursday.

The win got Union back to even at 8-8. As for Battle Ground, they now have a winning record of 9-8.

Union beat Battle Ground 6-3 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Do the Titans have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Tigers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
