Team Titans Reign Supreme: Two Sweet Wins Over No. 5 FSUS

Picture this: it’s a sunny Saturday in Brevard County, the air’s buzzing with the roar of a crowd that’s more eager than a kid waiting for a dessert bar. The Eastern Florida State College Titans, sewn together in a 9‑9 tie in the Citrus Conference, rolled out the red carpet for their rivals, No. 5 Florida Southwestern State College. And oh boy, they left them humming a different tune.

Game One: The Big Seventh‑Inning Blowout
- Bases Loaded, Two Outs: The stadium lights were on fire as Jamel Vera zipped a single to left, sending Jackson Wargo and Bryce Jackson crashing into the infield’s own zone. The scoreboard flipped to a jealous 8‑8.
- What a Rocket! Kevin “The Cannon” Smith stepped up and launched a three‑run homer—yeah, the kind that makes your neck ache from covering the whole field. Bam! Titans led 11‑8.
- Peter Phelps’ Savior Save: Brody Kelly, the pitcher who kept his shy side away, came on in the ninth, tossing a flawless inning that kept bring‑in the victory.
Game Two: A Tight Fight That Turns into a Clean Sweep
- Big Man: Michael Benedict: The man in the mound told the story that a rookie can shout with confidence. Pitched 6 1/3 innings, did not let a single run slip past, and the game tied at 2‑2.
- Brave’s Might: Beside him, veteran Sharron “Swing‑King” Thomas answered with a two‑run homer in the sixth that kept the magic alive.
- Cheat‑Sheet Hits: Bo “Double‑Dashing” Tabola was on fire, smashing a two‑run double on the right‑field line and running to third on a perfect throw. No hitting hits? Go on, lightweight.
Why This Matters

Who’s at the top? The Titans are now a hot 9‑9, and four wins in a row means a change of gears in the Citrus Conference. No more “just good enough” – they’re showing they’re the real deal, turning tense moments into fireworks.

EFSC Softball Splits Conference Doubleheader vs Daytona State College – Space Coast Daily
Titans back home Saturday, will host St. Petersburg College in conference doubleheader

EFSC Softball Sharks vs Daytona Titans: A Double‑Header Shaky Tale

First Game Summary

Picture a calm‑water Tuesday where the Titans, 16‑12 in the Citrus Conference, fought their way to a 2‑0 win over the EFSC Sharks. The game was a real standoff with the 19th‑ranked Titans shutting out the rival No. 10 Falcons while the aggressive Freshman pitcher Avery Velazquez kept the score locked at zero for most of the afternoon.
When the twins 1‑3 came in, Velazquez’s first two outs were a strike zone showcase. Then, a sweet RBI double in the third inning pushed the table to 1‑0. The Titans added another run in the fifth, sealing their 2‑0 victory. The final stats? Six hits allowed, seven strikeouts, and Velazquez went 2‑for‑3 – her lone hit a pinch‑hit home run. Ava Unser of Daytona took the loss, seeing six hits over seven innings but only two runs brought in. Kayla Fanning and Jessica Merk paced the home side, each delivering their run-laden moments.

Second Game Drama

Double‑header action gets a whole new flavor when the game looks like it’s about to tip into a tie at 6‑5. With two outs in the 7th, the shortstop’s excellent grab followed by a steely interference call from the ump hits a bat‑bouncer to the Titans. Aracelis Jimenez scored on a single, and Merk followed up with her own single to center field so that the score dipped to 6‑3. That interference call left the Titans in a victory‑locked position and they went home walking (or rather, walking) away with a 6‑5 win.

Key Players
- Avery Velazquez – 2‑for‑3 with a triple and a home run, driving in 2 runs.
- Jessica Merk – 2‑run RBI cameo that mattered in the 2nd game.
- Kayla Fanning – the slow‑burn that told the story of the double‑header.
- Aracelis Jimenez – just a single‑to‑center outing that genuinely raised the stakes.
Upcoming Schedule

Friday’s gym is easier – the Titans will host St. Petersburg College. It’s a sophomore‑class tribute before the kickoff at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon the Titans go on the road for a conference double‑header. With their wins already, the squad is moving forward for sure.

Coach Zeger’s pep talk: “This week is the big one. We’re touring Palm Springs, FSW, River, finishing strong at HCC. It’s the play where everything’s in front of us. Get ready to finish booming and get that sweet seed for the postseason.”
