Hawks Beat Bolts In High-Scoring Freshman Showdown
Hawk leads Franklin as McKinley and Wilson share top scoring with 2 2 counts. Bolts pitcher Atkinson allowed 16 hits and 10 earned runs through 4 innings, while Hawk's Mike Hawk yielded 9 hits and 2 earned runs. Franklin offense sparked by Macek Rice Lafley with multiple singles as Hawk and teammate Gruerrez drove the powerful attack. An onfield balk call by Bill Quinby in the final inning added to the oddities of a wild game despite strong long balls and timely hits.
