NOTES: Former Torrington High School standout David Alexander is getting his shot with the newest team in town, the Torrington Titans. Alexander, who tried out for the team back in June, but found the position he played, first base, was occupied by Josh Winter. With Winter gone for the season due to an injury, a spot has opened up. Alexander saw his first action against Team Canada on Tuesday night at first base, and struck out in his lone at bat in the sixth inning. Alexander attended Manchester Community College the past two years before transferring to Fitchburg State. He batted .304 for the Eagles in 2010 with three home runs and eight RBI. He graduated from THS in 2006 after lettering in both baseball and basketball and has been a member of the Tri-State League, Torrington Rebels team this summer. The Titans have also moved Brandon Smith into the closer role. Smith, who has pitched to a 2-2 record to date, is being moved to the pen because of an injury to former Housatonic standout and Tri-State League Winsted Whaler Brooks Belter.
