Fire Get Past Watford City for 5-4 Win
Franklin beat Watford City at Trash Panda Field, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to second baseman Tsugahara Otani. He was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Franklin is now 40-18, 3 games up in the Menard's R.

The outcome might have been different for Franklin, had it not been for Eugene Higgins, the 19-year old center fielder . Higgins stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Franklin up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Both teams played hard," said Franklin manager Iban Hulsbos.
