The Todd Beamer Titans ended last year’s baseball season with an appearance in the state playoffs. Last Friday, they started the 2015 season right where they left off with a 14-4 win over the Auburn Trojans in a non-league game.

Beamer’s bats got hot in the second and third innings.

After having none of the three batters reach base in the first inning, the Titans managed 13 hits and 14 runs the next two innings.

Auburn began the fifth inning trailing 14-1. They made an effort to keep the game going as they managed three runs, but they were unable to avoid the 10-run mercy rule with a fourth run in the inning.

Beamer pitcher Taylor Davis picked up the win. The senior pitched for two innings and recorded two strikeouts. He only gave up one hit and walked two batters. All five of the Titans’ pitchers combined for six strikeouts and three hits given up.

Jalen Prather, a senior outfielder for Beamer, led the team with five RBIs and had two hits in three at-bats.

Taylor Davis was a perfect 3-3 at the plate on the day. Calvin Hedges, sophomore, stole two bases as a pinch runner for the Titans.

The team recorded seven doubles. In all, 10 different Titans reached home plate to score a run.

The Titans beat Kentwood 8-2 on Tuesday and played Tahoma on Thursday, after the Mirror’s deadline.

Beamer’s next home game is today against the Kentridge Chargers.
