The Franklin Cubs topped the Borrego Springs Rams, 8-3, with youngster Curt Lirette playing a key role. Lirette hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Cubs in the win. Danny Orfila earned the win to go to 3-5. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. The win makes Franklin 42-53.

Franklin grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Lirette hit a 3-run home run off Josh DeYoe. His 10th home run of the season put the Cubs out in front, 5-2.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Lirette told the Franklin Today.
