Baseball Game Preview: Poway Titans vs. Torrey Pines Falcons

Poway is on a seven-game streak of home losses, and Torrey Pines a six-game streak of away losses. However, someone's due for a change in luck on Monday. The Poway Titans will be playing at home against the Torrey Pines Falcons at 6:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Friday just wasn't the day for Poway's offense. They fell 5-0 to La Costa Canyon on Friday. That's two games in a row now that the Titans have lost by exactly five runs.

Owen Digenan was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April.

Meanwhile, Torrey Pines suffered their biggest defeat since April 7th on Friday. They lost 12-4 to Rancho Bernardo.

Torrey Pines saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Vince Moore, who went 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Nick Aldrich also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Torrey Pines' loss dropped their record down to 11-16. As for Poway, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-20.

Poway might still be hurting after the 8-2 loss they got from Torrey Pines in their previous matchup back in April. Can the Titans avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
