Baseball = Franklin, 4 @ Attleboro, 3 – Final 

– Attleboro scored twice in the bottom of the seventh and had the tying run at third but Franklin held on for a 4-3 victory for their first league win of the season. Franklin sophomore Cal McKenna came on in relief with the tying run at second and one out and got a fly ball to center for the second out. After Attleboro pinch runner Austin Taliaferro stole third to get the tying runner a bag away from home, McKenna got a punch out to end the game. Franklin took the lead with two runs in the top of the second on an RBI ground out from Cole Sidwell and a two-out RBI double from Jack Sullivan (2-for-4, double, triple). The teams traded runs in the third with Matt Luccini bringing in a run with an RBI groundout in the top half for the Panthers while Attleboro tied it after Jeremy O’Hara reached on a dropped third strike and Aidan Landers (2-for-3, run) came home from third. Franklin tacked on what looked like an insurance run in the top of the seventh, but it proved to be the game-winner. Joey Goguen plated Drake McAlpine with a sac fly to make it 4-1. O’Hara had a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to pull the Bombardiers within a run. Michael Huntington added two hits, two stolen bases, and a run for the Bombardiers. DJ Silverstein pitched well in a no-decision, allowing just one unearned run on five hits and four walks, striking out eight in 5.1 innings for the Panthers. Nick Daley gave up just one unearned run on one hit and one walk in three innings of relief for Attleboro, striking out one.

Softball = Attleboro, 7 @ Franklin, 4 – Final 

– Attleboro scored in six straight innings, building its lead over time to secure a win on the road at Franklin. The Bombardiers took the lead right off the bat in the top of the first on a two-run home run from Lola Ronayne but the Panthers responded right away, plating three in the bottom half to jump ahead: Sarah Boozang and Marley Allen each clubbed an RBI double and Addi Weiss came through with a two-out single to plate another run. From there, Attleboro scored once in five straight innings, tying the game in the top of the second when Emily Eby reached on a two-out error, and taking the lead back in the top of the third when Nina Sullivan had a two-out single to center. Eby added an RBI single in the fourth, Savannah Boedecker plated one with a sac fly in the fifth, and Jenna Callahan (ROE) scored on a wild pitch in the sixth. Ella Weston connected on an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh for the Panthers. Callahan earned the win in the circle for Attleboro, surrendering four runs on six hits and three walks, striking out a season-high 10 batters.

Boys Lacrosse = Canton, 4 @ Franklin, 10 – Final 

– Canton scored three straight goals at the end of the third quarter to cut a six-goal deficit in half but Franklin and senior goalie Sam Freedman stood tall the rest of the way, winning the fourth quarter 3-0 to fend off a feisty Bulldog squad. Franklin staked a 6-1 lead at halftime and scored the first goal of the third as the lead peaked at six goals. Canton’s Cam Conley scored two of his goals in a two-minute span and Cullen O’Brien added one with 1:34 to go in the third to make it 7-4. The game stayed that way for nearly five minutes into the fourth until Quinn Kielty deposited a shot from just outside the crease. Franklin tacked on insurance goals with just under five minutes to go and another with just over a minute left into an empty net. Freedman was the main difference, turning aside 15 shots to keep Canton at bay for the majority of the game. Thomas Quinn scored a hat trick to lead Franklin while Kielty and Charlie Ballarino each had two tallies.
