As for Frankton, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 12-7. Considering they have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

For Frankton's part, Paige Parker was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched.
