After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Wewahitchka, Franklin County was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 13-6 margin over the Marianna Bulldogs. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for the Seahawks' hitters, who had struggled in the games prior.
Charlotte Creamer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Mateah McClendon, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March of 2025. Another player making a difference was Peyton Jones, who went 1-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Franklin County lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Marianna didn't launched any.
