Ten Titans, Two Papers, One Saturday: The Citrus Showdown
Friday’s 7‑4 win over Polk State left the Eastern Florida State College Titans buzzing, but it’s not all swagger. The team is headed to Winter Haven for a tight double‑header that’ll test their legs, their hope and maybe their patience by sunset.
Game Details
- Day: Saturday
- Time: 1 p.m. (first game)
- Series: Citrus Conference double‑header vs. Polk State College

Polk State: The Tough Times, the Hot Arms

- Zach Lester – five homers already; he’s the cannon they’re watching.
What Makes Saturday Special?
Besides the double‑header excitement, it’s a chance for the Titans to consolidate their 11‑11 streak and for Polk State to look for an upside. What matters is the heat of the play, the momentum they carry, and the thumps of the hits that can’t be ignored.
So, if you’re heading to Winter Haven or cheering from home, remember: baseball is a game of fleeting chances, and every at‑bat is a story waiting to be written.
