Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Strasburg-Franklin). They were the clear victors by an 18-3 margin over the Newcomerstown Trojans on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Strasburg-Franklin got a massive performance out of Ella Gilkerson, who went 3-for-5 with three runs, three doubles, and two RBI. That's the most runs Gilkerson has posted since back in April of 2024. Miley Reifenschneider also deserves some recognition as she scored her first runs of the season.
Strasburg-Franklin pushed their record up to 5-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Newcomerstown, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-3.
When Strasburg-Franklin and Newcomerstown next hit the field, they'll be up against teams who recently just can't seem to lose. The Tigers will take on Dover and their seven-game winning streak at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Strasburg-Franklin 3.4, the Crimson Tornadoes 1.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
