She's gives Franklin the Edge

About a week ago Franklin pitcher Trinity Edge took a hard liner back to the mound square in the leg. It buckled her and she ended up being carried off the field. Not something you want to see as playoff season begins.

But there she was today at Allegheny College throwing heat from the mound.

The sixth seeded Franklin squad came to play today against the third seed Warren. Franklin jumped out to a one nothing lead but then stalled stranding a few runners. Warren's first at bat was almost identical to Franklin. Lead off batter bunts and a bad throw lets the runner go on to second and eventually scores. 

​1-1 after one.

Then nothing happened in the second inning. The third inning Franklin gain a run on sacrifice fly and Warren countered by plating two runners to go up 3-2. The fourth inning was also uneventful.

Franklin then had a big fifth. A Triple followed by a single tied the game and then Trinity Edge stepped up an put one over the fence. A spectator yelled out that at least she doesn't have to run hard for this one.

This put Franklin up 5-3.

In the sixth Warren threatened and plated one runner with another in scoring position. On a squib hit the runner tried to score on a bobble ball at first but was gunned down and the catcher held on despite the collision. This ended up being the deciding factor in the game as Edge shut Warren down in the final inning.

Franklin advances and will play Thursday at a site and time to be determined.

Edge also tripled in the game where she went full out running, but paid the price. Despite the obvious pain she was in, she came out in the seventh and finished off Warren who left a runner at second.
