It's playoff time, and Benjamin Franklin had no trouble coming through when it counted. They never let the Holbrook Roadrunners get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Chargers, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Talan Speir was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. Those 14 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one RBI.

In other batting news, Owen Fierstein was excellent, going 1-for-2 with two runs and one triple. That triple was his first of the season. Jacob Moran was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

The win was the seventh in a row for Benjamin Franklin, bringing their record up to 15-9-1. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Holbrook, they dropped their record down to 12-16 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.

As of now, neither Benjamin Franklin nor the Roadrunners have any future games scheduled.
