FHS baseball wins to advance; FHS girls lacrosse falls short in playoff run

Via HockomockSports.com and Twitter, we share the results of the spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. We also provide the link to the full set of Hockomock League results below.

Baseball = Division 1 Final Four = #21 Methuen, 0 vs. #1 Franklin, 4 – Final

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:

"When the Franklin players watched Taunton celebrate at Holy Cross University’s Fitton Field in the final game of last season, the Panthers committed to giving themselves another chance at bringing home a state title.

On Tuesday night, at the same location as last year’s final, Franklin made sure its quest for a championship would go right to the end.

Austin Campbell and Dillon Cashin combined for a shutout and Eisig Chin had two hits and scored two runs, as the Panthers avoided the upset against No. 21 Methuen, pulling out a 4-0 win and setting up a rematch with the Tigers in the title game.

“I think we have great leadership,” Franklin coach Zach Brown said about what it has taken for his team to get back to this stage. “We have 15 seniors and all of them are tremendous leaders in their own way and they’re all great kids. These guys have stayed the course, they’ve stayed connected, and I’m really proud of their effort on a day-to-day basis.”

Girls Lacrosse = Division 1 Final Four = #7 Franklin, 9 vs. #3 Westwood, 10 – Final

Not the ending we wanted, but still so proud of this group they never gave up and fought until the end. That was kind of a theme for us this year. We faced so much adversity, but despite it all, the girls always played together with heart
