The West Franklin Falcons will venture away from home to challenge the Lebo Wolves at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
West Franklin will bounce into Monday's match after beating Mission Valley, who they had gone 2-7 against in their nine prior meetings. The Falcons had just enough and edged out the Vikings 1-0. The victory was familiar territory for the Falcons, who have now won four contests in a row.
West Franklin secured the win behind a pair of hitters. One of them was Gunnar McMahan, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one double and one RBI.

West Franklin's victory was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 13-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. Lebo's draw gives them a new season record of 9-3-2.
West Franklin skirted past Lebo 3-2 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
