Chicago Loss Takes Shine Off Titus Performance
The Syracuse Scorpions besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Chicago designated hitter Brandon Titus by beating the Gangsters, 14-8, at The Hideout. Titus belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. At 17-34, the Scorpions are currently last in the American Conference Central Division.

Syracuse used a well-timed hit by Juan Lira to capture the win. The right fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Scorpions ahead, 5-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Lira.
