“We had a couple work horses step up and become thoroughbreds today in Franks and Farrar,” head coach Q.V. Lowe said. “I thought our guys played as well as they have all year. The two pitchers came ready to play and really set the tone for the whole team. We are excited to have won these two games.”

In the opener, Franks tossed a three-hit shutout, striking out three and walking one to improve to 5-4 on the season.

“We knew we had to get back on the grind today,” Franks said.
