Baseball = Franklin, 5 @ Catholic Memorial, 1 – Final 

– Franklin claimed the lead right off the bat and senior Zach Winer and junior DJ Silverstein combined to deliver a great pitching performance as the Panthers snapped Catholic Memorial’s three-game win streak with a 5-1 win on the road. Winer set the tone early, giving himself some help with a one-out home run in the top of the first, and senior Ryan Connelly came through with a two-out RBI single as the Panthers built an early 2-0 lead. CM cut the deficit in half with a run in the fourth inning, 2-1, where the game stayed until Franklin tacked on three insurance runs in the top of the final inning. Winer (3-for-3, two RBI, two runs, three stolen bases) came through with a one-out RBI single to make it 3-1, and both Winer and junior Sean Kryzak (walk) came home to score on an error. On the mound, Winer surrendered just one unearned run on one hit and five walks, striking out four in five innings. Silverstein came on in relief and tossed two scoreless innings, giving up just one hit — a one-out single in the bottom of the seventh, but induced a ground ball for a double play four pitches later.


Softball = Franklin, 0 vs. Walpole, 4 – Final 

– Junior Sophia Sacramone had a strong pitching performance and accounted for the Panthers’ lone hit offensively but Franklin suffered a 4-0 setback to star pitcher Sharlotte Stazinski and reigning Division 2 state champions Walpole. The Timberwolves scored once in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings to build their lead. Sacramone had a two-out single in the bottom of the sixth to break up Stazinski’s no-hitter. In the circle, Sacramone allowed just two hits on five hits and one walk, striking out seven in five innings.
