That was enough for Titans pitcher Addison Suriano, who struck out five Warriors batters en route to a 5-hit shutout.
The other pair of Eastlake runs came in the seventh, both unearned after a costly two-out error with no one on base opened the floodgates.
The Titans cllected 10 hits against the Warriors, including two from seniors Ryan Pham and MacKenzie Olshenskie (the Titand leader in batting averge; 459), plus juniors Kaili Balajadia and Bryne Grayson.
