Franklin Pierce had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt Heritage on Saturday. The Cardinals put the hurt on the Timberwolves with a sharp 10-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Cardinals, who have now won nine contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Dustin Wallace was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Wallace was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ty Beavers, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jacob Powell, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

Franklin Pierce is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Heritage, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-12.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Franklin Pierce will square off against Steilacoom at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Heritage, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against Fort Vancouver at 4:30 p.m. The Timberwolves' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Trappers have averaged an impressive 7.5 runs per game this season.
