TRIPLE PLAY and Isaac Wiers 2-hit Shutout Spark 2-0 Win

Isaac Wier (3-0) didn't allow a single run as Franklin Academy Patriots Varsity defeated River Mill Academy 2-0 on Friday. Wier allowed just two hits and struck out 5 - he has not allowed a single earned run in 17 innings, leading the conference with a 0.00 ERA. The Patriots are now 7-2 overall and 3-2 in conference play.
The Highlight of the game came when Isaac Wier induced what is believed to be the first triple play in school history. With runners on 1st and 2nd, I Wier pitched. The runners were stealing on the play. The batter hit a line drive to second-baseman Lucas Wier. After making the catch, L Wier quickly tossed to Chandler Williams to get the runner at second. Williams rifled a strike to Zach Taylor at first base to get the runner also trying to get back. One pitch, three outs.
Jason Plant and Jacob Joyner each drove in one run to lead Franklin Academy Patriots Varsity. Joyner also tracked two balls to the fence to make game-saving catches.
The next game is March 30 at home with Louisburg.
