Miller has racked up 63 strikeouts in seven appearances and has a 1.68 ERA with a 3-4 record.

All of the coaches would like to say congrats to Tyrone for all the hard work and leadership he has shown over the years.

Well Played Game Ends in Loss for Titans

A good effort by both clubs last night led to a 4-0 loss for the Titans after a tremendous pitching perfromance by Kishon Kumar. Kumar went five and gave up a lone run, but the offense was halted by great Wharton pitching. The Titans look to rebound Friday night as they play Plant City.

Titans Blast Eastbay 13-3

In Tampa Bay Tech's first real day game of the year, the offense showed up early and often as the Titans beat Eastbay in a short 5 inning game 13-3. Ty Lawson set the tone with a double and a triple in the first inning as Tech scored 9 in the first frame. Senior pitcher Ty Miller got his third win of the year throwing a complete game.

Titans vs. Newsome Postponed!!!

No game today as weather has not imporved in area. The scheduled game between the Titans and Newsome has been rescheduled for Wednesday at 7 pm @ Newsome.

Practice Cancelled Due to Weather

Horrible weather in the area today has cancelled practice. Be ready to go for game time Tuesday at Newsome. All player be at feild at 330 for pregame and hitting.

Titans Edge Blake

Another great pitching performance by Tyrone Miller Friday night got the Titans back in the winning column. Tyrone struck out 9 en route to a complete game victory 5-2 over Blake. Kevin Roque came off the bench for injured catcher Andres Irizarry and delivered what would become the game winning hit in the bottom of the 6th. The Titans look to keep the winning streak going against suprising Newsome next week.

Tampa Bay Tech Gets Some Press

Titans coach Jason Gordon recently did an interview with the Tampa Tribune and it was printed in the Paper today. Here is the article...

By EDDIE DANIELS The Tampa Tribune
Published: March 25, 2011

Good with the bad
Tampa Bay Tech coach Jason Gordon has plenty to be excited about with his baseball team.

There's the pitching of senior Tyrone Miller. The Titans ace has a 1.65 ERA and has struck out 47 batters in 29 2/3 innings. Then there's SS Tyler Lawson, who has driven in seven runs on 10 hits and has scored eight times. Jaylin Earl's .394 batting average and nine RBIs is a team-best.
There's also a solid group of leaders.

"This is probably the best group I've had in the four years I've been here," Gordon said. "Not the most talented group, but the hardest-working group of guys that want to come out, work hard in practice every day and strive to do better."

He's also been pleasantly surprised by freshman Kristian Bueno (.273, nine hits, four RBIs).
The one thing Gordon wants to see improved is the run support Miller receives while on the mound. The Titans (3-10) have reached the five-run mark only three times.

Tonight they're looking to end a seven-game slide when they host Blake. Prior to that losing streak, Tampa Bay Tech beat Durant (7-5), East Bay (4-1) and Leto (9-5) in consecutive games.

Titans Handle Leto Move Streak to 3

The Titans, behind the effort of Kishon Kumar, won their 3rd game in a row beating Leto 9-5 Friday night. Kumar went 6 1/3 and gave up 2 earned runs as the Titans moved to 3-3 for the year. Senior Ty Lawson was on base four times including an RBI single, and every Titan starter had a hit (12 total). The Titans look to keep the streak going as they face state powerhouse Alonso Tuesday night.

FAN PICS!!!

Tyrone Miller Shuts Down Eastbay

Senior pitcher Tyrone Miller struck out 12 and gave up a bunt hit for the only hit of the night as the Titans get on a winning streak beating Eastbay 4-1 Tuesday Night. Contributions from several players led to an early lead which the Titans never gave up. The Titans play Leto Friday night at Leto

Titans Get First Win in Dramatic Fashion

The Titans finally got off the floor and swung the bats as they beat previously unbeaten and district leader Durant on Friday night 7-5. They got a huge pitching performance from Kison Kumar who threw 6 1/3 innings to give the Titans their first win of the year. Clutch hits by Ty Lawson, Jaylin Earl and LeMarc Caldwell really set the tone for the Titans who got a early 5-0 lead. After a series of tough losses early on the Titans figured out a way to shut the door for a great win.

Game 3 Tonight!!!

Come out and root on the Titans as they take on Newsome in game 3 of this very young season. Senior Tyrone Miller takes the mound at 7 pm. GO TITANS!!!

Titans Fall Late at Saladino

The Titans got another great pitching effort Friday as Kishon Kumar went 4 innings and gave up only 1 run, but the Titans late comeback fell short as they lost to Sickles 4-3. CF Dionte Williams was a force in the 2 hole as his bunting and running ability really made things happen for the Titans offense. Tech will open the regular season Tuesday as they face off against Tampa Prep at Titans field. Come out and cheer on the home team. Action starts at 7 pm.

Titans Lose Opener

Lots of positives for the Titans as they lose to the District powerhouse Jefferson Wednesday night. Senior Ty Lawson went 2 for 2 with 2 steals a walk and a run as well as several great defensive plays. Senior Tyrone Miller gave the Titans a good effort on the mound as well giving up only 1 earned run. Many new Titans got their feet wet as well, such as Dionte Williams in CF and Lemarc Caldwell in RF, both who registered hits and played solid outfield. The Titans look to rebound today as they play Sickles at Jefferson. Action starts at 4 pm.

Let's Try That Again!!!

After a bad beginning to our week, weather wise, the Titans' opening game will take place tonight at 7 PM at Jefferson, against the Dragons. Hope all fans will come out and support what we think is a very good team. See everyone tonight and GO TITANS!!!
