Franklin Lightning Softball 22-15 Grant

Franklin's softball team turned in their most explosive offensive performance of the season Tuesday, overwhelming Grant 22-15 in a wild PIL (6A) league contest at home in Portland, Oregon. The Quakers' bats came alive in dramatic fashion, producing their highest run total of the campaign against their crosstown rivals. The 37 combined runs made for one of the most entertaining games of the spring season, with Franklin pulling away despite Grant's persistent offensive pressure throughout the contest. The victory moves Franklin to 5-10 overall and 5-6 in conference play, giving the Quakers crucial momentum as they head into the final stretch of league competition. Franklin's ability to sustain their offensive attack against a Grant team that kept pace early showed the kind of breakthrough performance the Quakers have been building toward all season. With league standings still fluid and playoff positioning on the line, this offensive explosion couldn't have come at a better time for Franklin as they look to finish the regular season strong.
