Franklin proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by 13) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Bravo Knights, sneaking past 2-1. The two-run effort marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring matchup of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Jacob Hoechst spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up six Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Franklin's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Anthony Hernandez, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base and one double.
Franklin is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Bravo, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-12 record this season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Franklin beat Bravo by a score of 9-1 on Friday.
