Harkness dazzles as JV Indians take odd 7-0 win

The JV Indians shut out Franklin County 7-0 on Thursday night to remain unbeaten on the season, but the box score showed the oddity of how TFS won. While Griffin Harkness was hurling one of the best games of his career, the offense was putting up runs - yet tallied just one hit in the victory but recorded 14 walks.

A scoreless tie was broken in the third when Drew Barron worked a bases-loaded walk. Merrick Carnes had a sacrifice bunt to score Asa Popham in the fourth, and a 4-run fifth was highlighted by a 2-run single off the bat of Popham. It was the game's only hit for TFS, which got one more in the sixth.

Harkness dazzled with a 10-strikeout game while going five innings and allowing just one hit and two walks. Barron pitched the final inning, striking out the side around a hit. Jackson Savage scored two runs and had three walks. Popham had two RBI and a run along with two walks. Six different players had multiple walks. 

The Indians are now 4-0 on the season.
