Whitby Offense Jammed Up by Cubs
Sergio Romero had a strong outing for the Franklin Cubs against the Whitby Bats at Franklin Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-1 win. In 5.2 innings, Romero surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 0. He allowed no runs. The save went to Jonathan Aubry, number 4 for him.

Fernando Zavala, who is tied for 4th in the NC in stolen bases with 6, contributed to the Franklin win with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"Sergio knows how to get ahead of hitters, stay ahead of hitters, and put people out," said Franklin manager Kerry McElree.

Whitby, with the loss, is still a robust 18-7.
