Franklin has gone 8-2 against Kenosha Tremper recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Sabers will venture away from home to square off against the Trojans at 4:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Franklin 3, Kenosha Tremper 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Franklin is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Kaukauna just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell just short of the Galloping Ghosts by a score of 4-3.

Franklin got a good showing from Brody Charles, who pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Charles has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run any time he's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Colin O'Brien made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Cooper Menke also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kenosha Tremper). Everything went their way against Racine Horlick on Friday as they made off with a 17-6 win. The victory was nothing new for the Trojans as they're now sitting on three straight.

Kenosha Tremper's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-3-1. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Franklin, their loss dropped their record down to 14-3.

Franklin couldn't quite finish off Kenosha Tremper in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 and fell 2-0. Can the Sabers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
