Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Franklin). They put the hurt on the Warren Dragons with a sharp 17-7 victory on Friday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Knights considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Jersey Swartz was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched six innings while giving up four earned (and three unearned) runs off 11 hits. Swartz was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, Gabrielle Laderer was a standout: she got on base in four of her five plate appearances with four runs and one stolen base. Jillian Ewing was another key player, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with four runs.
Franklin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .590. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win snapped Franklin's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 4-13 record. As for Warren, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-10 record this season.
Franklin will head out to square off against West Middlesex at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Knights' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Big Reds have averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season. Warren does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
