doubleheader set for Saturday
EFSC Titans Rally in Ninth to Snap Santa Fe Streak
When the scoreboard was stuck at 5-5, the Eastern Florida State College Titans turned the ninth inning into a fireworks show, securing a 9‑6 victory over the Santa Fe Saints.
Key Moments
- Ryan Cerrone’s walk loaded the bases and pushed the Titans’ lead to 6‑5.
- Isaiah Santiago’s two‑run single skyrocketed the score to 8‑5, and a quick run later sealed the job.
- Jeff Davis bounced back from a questionable hit‑by‑pitch—a face‑hurt moment—and belted his second homer of the season.
- Richard Collazo added the first spry homer of the year, lining a shot in the basement.
- Santa Fe had a brief resurgence, tying 5‑5 in the seventh via Ryan Chase’s blistering knock.
The Giants of the field kept the line in the boxes—each of the nine Titans had at least one hit, while Bo Tabola and Davis each snagged two.
Relief Hero
Kenneth Robinson took the win, throwing a clean lien to top off the rally.
What’s Next
The Titans will dust off the second leg of the doubleheader this Saturday at 1 p.m. on Bruce Bochy Field. Free admission and a live stream on the Titans’ YouTube channel keep the fanfare rolling.
