Bellflowers Top Cubs in Extras, 10-8
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Franklin Cubs home opener. Ivan Gonzalez started for the home team against Rich Bryan for the Buffalo Bellflowers. The Cubs were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 10-8, Buffalo, in 11 innings. Elias Palacio, though, was impressive.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Marcos Cortez came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Franklin pitcher Jim Unknown, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Buffalo on top, 7-6.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Cortez.
