In the second game of the double-header the Titans offense never got going and the Saints hit three home runs in the 5-1 loss.

How it happened: The game was scoreless after two innings of the seven-inning game, but in the 3rd the Saints got a two-run home run to take a 2-0 lead.

The Titans got a home run of their own from Curran Mitzel in the bottom half-of-the 3rd, but it was a solo shot, so the Saints maintained their lead 2-1.

An RBI-double and sacrifice fly in the 4th made it 4-1 Saints.

A solo home run in the 5th sealed off the final score of 5-1 for the Saints.

What it means: The Titans had a chance to tie the Saints for 2nd place at 9-5 with two wins, but the losses put the Titans (15-15, 7-7) four games behind Mt. Hood (21-8, 11-3) with 10 games remaining.

What's next: The Titans play at double header at Mt. Hood tomorrow with first pitch at 2 p.m.
