Baseball Recap: Kennedy Find Success

Kennedy proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by 14) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Concord Bears 2-1. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Titans also won the last time the pair played back in March of 2016.

Nick Owsley was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in March of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.

In other pitching news, Jake Arrowood tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 7.2 innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Kennedy is 3-1 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 2-3 otherwise.
