single to left in the sixth. Sean Martin pitched a scoreless inning before
Chad Cordero came on to notch his third save with two no-hit innings.
The Titans scored all three of their runs in the fourth when David Fischer
opened with a single and Richie Birgos doubled to left. Fischer came in

complete game, but took the loss to fall to 0-5.
