While the Titans didn't place, they ended the weekend with a dramatic 9-8 walk-off Titan victory over Post 15. After falling behind 5-0 early, the Titans battled back and eventually won in extra innings when Colton Hendrix delivered the game-winning hit. Brady Hall and Hayden Deibert each collected multiple hits in the victory, while Jude Makens came up big in relief, tossing 1⅓ scoreless innings to help secure the win.
