Fire Win 3L R Championship Thursday, September 13th , 2046 With a 4-3 win over the Canonniers de Quebec tonight at Paints Ballpark, the Franklin Fire wrapped up their 3rd title in team history. Franklin left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Fire celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Franklin manager Iban Hulsbos. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Franklin celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works. "We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Franklin Fire," the mayor said. The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Menard's R and a 71-25 record.
