Ben Francisco blasted 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Astoria Ax Men beat the
Eugene Emeralds by a score of 6 to 4.
 
Francisco enjoyed a big evening at the plate.  He smashed a bases-empty

run (his 3rd of the season) in the 6th inning.  Astoria rapped out 9 hits for
the night.  
 
The victory was credited to Ryan Drese(2-0) who went 8 innings, allowing 4
runs. Dan Wheeler recorded his 1st save.  Brandon Backe(0-1) was hit with the
