They blew past the Lincoln Railsplitters 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won 15 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Thomas Wiwigacz was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ryan Davis, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to hits, as he's now got three or more in each of the last seven games he's played. Andrew Mullins also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Franklin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lincoln only posted an OBP of .235.
