Multi-HR Game for Franklin in 13-11 Win
The Crystal Lake Killers powered past the Buckeye Local Panthers, 13-11, at Killer Stadium. Josh Franklin provided some of the pop. Stretch was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. The 4th-place Killers have won 4 in a row.

The Panthers had been locked in a 8-8 tie with the Killers going into the bottom of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old catcher Frank Fisher came to the plate. Fisher hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from Buckeye Local hurler Jim Unknown. It was Fisher's 19th double of the year.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Franklin.
