While Twin River didn't have the best season last year (they finished 5-10), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They were the clear victors by a 14-3 margin over the Tekamah-Herman Tigers on Tuesday. With that win, the Titans brought their scoring average up to 7.4 runs per game.

Braeden Santos was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. He also put up an RBI, which was his first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Paydon Rinkol, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. Garrett Alexander was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double.

The victory (which was Twin River's third in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Tekamah-Herman, their loss was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-7.

Looking ahead, Twin River will host South Sioux City on Thursday. The Cardinals have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.33 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Tekamah-Herman, they will face off against Falls City at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
