The Hoptown Hoppers had one rally in them on Tuesday, but a second one just wasnât in the cards.
Overcoming a three-run deficit with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Hoppers couldnât take advantage of a bases-loaded situation and fell 7-4 in 12 innings to the Franklin Duelers at Colonel Field.
For the fourth time in as many games, the Hoppers found themselves in an early hole.
Franklinâs Jacob Curtis took a Grant Golomb pitch over the left field wall to open the scoring in the third.
After the Duelers tacked on another in the fourth, Curtis struck again in the fifth with a leadoff bomb to put Hoptown in a 3-0 hole.

Chamber of Commerce awarded funds to support tourism
Kennebec Valley Tourism Council (KVTC) has awarded sponsorship support funds in the amount of $1,662.50 to Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce for the Taste of Waterville to assist in the growth of tourism in Maine’s Kennebec Valley and produce a positive economic impact on the region.
Mid-Maine Chamber was one of 12 sponsorship recipients awarded as part of the 2021 KVTC marketing partnership program. In total, the 2021 KVTC sponsorship support application requests reached nearly $29,100. The organization was unable to fully fund all regional sponsorship requests to its members this year. However, with the help of Brookfield Renewable U.S., KVTC was able to fund $19,351.50. KVTC is excited to award sponsorships to local organizations who are helping KVTC promote the Kennebec Valley region as a destination place with their own marketing initiatives.
