Frankfort had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Hampshire on Tuesday. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Trojans. Considering the Falcons have won nine matchups by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Lanson Orndorf made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He struck out 13 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two RBI and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacob Nething, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one double. Braydn Tyler was another key player, earning four runs and two stolen bases.
Frankfort always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hampshire only posted an OBP of .233.
The win (which was Frankfort's fifth in a row) raised their record to 15-6. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Hampshire, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 5-11.
