SLATER -- New Franklin found the cozy confines of Lions Field much to its liking, drilling four homers Wednesday during a 13-4 non-conference victory over the Slater baseball team.

Aptly-named sophomore Graham Powers hit two of those dingers, a three-run shot in the first inning and a solo blast in the fifth. He also tossed a complete game, striking out nine.

Freshman Travis Crowley had a three-run tater in the second, followed by a two-run smash by freshman Ethan Shipp to give the Bulldogs a 9-1 lead.

The Wildcats tried to keep up, but didn't have the same juice. Although only out-hit 11-10, all of Purple's safeties were singles -- including a two-run hit by freshman Levi Thomas in the bottom of the second.

Powers had four hits and drove in seven runs for New Franklin (2-8).

Freshman Ethan Owens and senior Casey Bryson also had RBI singles for Slater (1-9), which is off a week before playing Tuesday at Lewis and Clark Conference foe Salisbury.
