Franz Excels in 8-7 Denver Win
The Denver Pilots turned back the Ann Arbor Z's, 8-7, at Knights Ballpark. Jim Franz, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Dante Ramos earned the save for Denver, his 3rd. The overall performance of the 2022 Z's has been rotten so far.

This game was not decided until late. With two out in the top of the ninth, Austin Bonneau drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Pilots took the lead, 8-7.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Denver manager Adrian Collins.
