Second Baseman Franz has 4 hits in Denver Win
The Denver Pilots defeated the Palm Springs Heat by the score of 10-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Jim Franz. Franz was 4-5 with a home run and 3 doubles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for the Pilots on the day. Danny Pena earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record is now 5-0. Denver occupies 5th place in the Stripes Conference West Division at 49-45.

With Denver leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Franz hit a fastball from Isaiah Robinson for a 2-run double. It was his 22nd double of the season and put the Pilots ahead, 3-0.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Franz. "I just want to win ballgames."
