March-Westin got off to a slow start Tuesday night as they faced Franks in the second game of this playoff series. But the poor hitting didn’t last long as they rattled off a 9 run third inning which continued to shake an already rattled Franks infield.

Franks showed flashes of its ugly side early in the game as players argued with one another both on the bench and across the field.

MW didn’t let the bickering distract them, with offensive production that included home runs from Jackson and Wimer (although wimer was not credited due to division AA rules). Nick went 4-4 with two doubles and a triple. Randy went 4-5, and Coach Tom managed to snap his 5-year hitting slump, going 2-4 with two walks on the evening. Tom also showed his undying grit and determination as he collided with Franks first baseman while attempting to beat out a ground ball.

Westin was more than just offense though, lead by Scotts 8 catches in left center field Franks just could not get any kind of respectable rally going. In fact the left and right center fielders (Scott and Tom) together accounted for over ½ of the games put outs.

Final score: March-Westin 22, Franks 13.
