The Tri Titans are taking a road trip to square off against the Shenandoah Raiders at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Tri will be looking to extend their current nine-game winning streak.
On Friday, Tri got the win against Monroe Central by a conclusive 17-6. The result was nothing new for the Titans, who have now won eight contests by nine runs or more so far this season.

Meanwhile, Shenandoah fell victim to Hagerstown and their airtight pitching crew on Saturday. They came up short against the Tigers, falling 11-0. Having soared to a lofty 20 runs in the game before, the Raiders' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Tri's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Shenandoah, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-2.
Tri's speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's matchup. The Titans have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.9 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Shenandoah, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Tri continue to outrun the ball?
Tri couldn't quite get it done against Shenandoah in their previous matchup back in May of 2024 as they fell 8-5. Can the Titans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
