Granados Whacks 2 Home Runs in 6-5 Win
Brian Granados powered the Whitman Panthers to a win over the Pembroke Porch Geese. The final score was 6-5. The Whitman shortstop, who is tied for 5th in the MA-SS in stolen bases with 30, was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. Whitman, at 70-92, holds down last place in the South Shore.

Granados had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 3-1 cutter from Chris Bender, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Panthers a 6-5 lead. It was the 22nd home run of the year for Granados.

Granados told a local reporter: "My job is to go out and play as hard as I can."
