The Chandler Prep Titans will head out to square off against the San Tan Charter Roadrunners at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. Chandler Prep is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.3 runs per game this season.
Chandler Prep had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Arete Prep on Tuesday. The Titans' pitchers stepped up to hand the CHARGERS a 16-0 shutout. That 16 run margin sets a new team best for the Titans this season.
Henry Allen was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 2-for-2.
