Franklin Towne lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Masterman, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Wednesday's contest. The Warriors were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over Masterman on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won five matches by ten runs or more so far this season.

Daniel LaSalle tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Franklin Towne got a massive performance out of Jayden Ocasio, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and one double. Another player making a difference was Carlo Quattrone, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs.

Franklin Towne pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Masterman, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-4 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Franklin Towne will welcome Samuel Fels at 3:15 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.5 runs per game on average), something the Warriors will no doubt try to take advantage of.
