OUTLOOK:  

Coach Miller and the Ottawa-Glandorf Titans are coming off an impressive 2013 campaign. The Titans finished 16-5 last season, but will need to improve in conference, which is a difficult task in the WBL with the likes of Defiance, Lima Bath and Wapak, among others. The Titans in 2014 are poised to have a solid season with ace Tanner Schimmoeller and top bat Tyler Zender. The two seniors are rounded out by a few more seniors as well as a solid junior class led by shortstop Brad Croy.
