Franklin had lost four straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped their record down to 3-19-1 to make it five. They came up short against the Brentwood Bruins, falling 10-0. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Bruins this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 5-0 back in March.
As for Brentwood, their record now sits at 12-4. The result was nothing new for the Bruins, who have now won five games by six runs or more so far this season.
For Brentwood's part, Marina Mason was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Mason has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in 15 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. Those three runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Avery Mason, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one triple. Another player making a difference was Bella Black, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run.
Looking ahead, Franklin will square off against Nolensville at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Knights' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Admirals' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Brentwood, they will challenge Centennial at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cougars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.58 runs per game on average), something the Bruins will no doubt try to take advantage of.
