Bruce in Fine Form in 3-0 Win
Franklin took on Buffalo in a contest which featured a pitchers' duel. Mike Bruce, in particular, was fantastic. The Franklin right-hander helped his team snag the win, 3-0. The Cubs, at 41-41, sit in third place in the Northern Conference East Division.

Buffalo could barely put a dent in Bruce. The right-hander tossed 81 pitches over 6 innings for the Cubs, allowing only 2 hits.

"From the first pitch, Mike was ready to rock and roll," said Franklin manager Kerry McElree.
