Baseball = Franklin, 5 vs. North Quincy, 3 – Final
– Franklin did all of its damage offensively in one inning and got a pair of great pitching performances in a win over North Quincy. The visitors plated a run in the first inning but the Panthers pounced in the bottom of the second with a five-spot to take the lead for good. Freshman Joey Goguen and senior Dom Caccavelli had back-to-back RBI singles to give the Panthers the lead and both of those turned into runs as courtesy runner Brian Auciello and Caccavelli came home to score on an errant pickoff attempt. Senior Rex Cinelli capped the scoring with a two-out single, bringing classmate Henry Digiorgio (IBB) home. Senior Jake Shaughnessy earned the win after recording seven strikeouts in four innings, surrendering three runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk. Senior Matt Miller shined in relief, allowing just one hit in two scoreless innings, striking out a pair.
Softball = Franklin, 6 vs. Braintree, 17 – Final
– A five-run second inning put Franklin ahead early but Braintree’s offense proved to be too much as the Wamps scored in every inning on their way to a 17-6 victory. Sophomore Ella Weston had a big day from the leadoff spot, going 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored. Katie Dowley (run) and Sarah Boozang (RBI, run) each had a double while Carly Pellegri-Johnson drove in three runs for the Panthers.
