With a playoff win on the line, Franklin rose to the challenge on Wednesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Enochs Eagles a 6-0 shutout. Six seems to be a good number for the Wildcats as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Not much got past Leilani Garcia, who gave up just four hits and racked up eight Ks to keep Enochs off the board. Garcia has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Micayla Arlotto was excellent, going 3-for-4 with one run and one double. Leah Pham was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
