EVANS CITY — From winless to total bliss.

That’s the softball ride Michelle Franks recently enjoyed while playing for Evans City in the Butler County 18-Under Slow Pitch Softball League.

Franks wrapped up her seven-year playing career with Evans City by playing numerous positions — outfield, second base and catcher among them — on a team that finished 16-0. Evans City won the league championship game by shutting out Butler Township, 10-0, in a five-inning no-hitter.

“They beat us in the league championship game last year,” Evans City coach Ron Osselborn said. “To come back and beat them in the finals this year meant a lot to these girls.”
