The Chavez Titans will be taking part in a tournament against the Argonaut Mustangs at 10:45 a.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Chavez made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Johansen, but they still couldn't quite topple them. Everything went Chavez's way against Johansen on Tuesday as Chavez made off with a 20-3 win. Considering the Titans have won four matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
