Nosediving Cubs Drop 8th Straight
Mike Alexander did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Franklin Cubs from being beaten, 9-8, to the Buffalo Bellflowers at Wegman's Field. Alexander went 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Jonathan Kellerstrass in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Jim Unknown took the loss. The losses continue to mount for Franklin, which has now dropped 8 in a row.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 18-year old left fielder Carlos Martinez had a chance to be the hero. Franklin pitcher Jim Unknown wanted to foil that plan. But with no outs, Martinez hit a sacrifice fly. The Bellflowers had themselves a thrilling win.

"We've hit a rough patch right now," said Franklin skipper Kerry McElree.
