Frankfort and Keyser are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2022, but likely not for long. The Falcons will venture away from home to take on the Golden Tornado at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Frankfort is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.6 runs per game this season.

That triple marked the first that he has hit this season.
In other batting news, Jacob Nething was excellent, going 2-for-4 with one home run. That home run was his first of the season.

Frankfort pushed their record up to 12-6 with the win, which was their 18th straight at home dating back to last season.

Frankfort skirted past Keyser 6-5 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
