Franklin Kirchner put up the most strikeouts he's had since back in April on Monday. He wasn't messing around, striking out 13 batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). The pitching appearance was his fourth straight with one or fewer earned runs.

Looking ahead, Kirchner and Conant will face off against Prairie Ridge at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Cougars will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 231 places lower in Illinois), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Kirchner? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
