Baseball = Franklin, 10 @ Wachusett, 6 – Final
– Franklin’s five runs in the top of the seventh inning originally looked like insurance but they turned out to be vital as the Panthers held on for a win on the road at Wachusett. Franklin led 3-2 going into the sixth and 5-3 heading into the final frame of the game. Sophomore Ethan Herndon drilled a one-out home run to right, sophomore Ethan Edmunds blasted a two-out, three-run home run to right, and junior Owen Pennini smoked a triple and scored on an error as the Panthers’ advantage ballooned to 10-3. Wachusett rallied in the bottom half to get within four, and had the bases loaded, but Brady Short got the final out to close out the win. Jack Sullivan set the tone from the leadoff spot with three hits, including a double, and scored three runs. Edmunds (five RBI, double) and sophomore Cam Lambert (double, RBI) also had three hits in the win. Edmunds secured the win on the mound, allowing two runs (none earned) on three hits and four walks, striking out seven in five innings.
Softball = Franklin, 4 @ Newton North, 5 – Final
Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 15 vs. Needham, 7 – Final
– Franklin trailed 5-4 at halftime, but went on a 10-0 run after the break to turn the game on its head and run away with a comfortable non-league win to stay unbeaten this spring. Kendall Mone was instrumental in Franklin’s win, causing four turnovers on defense and controlling the game on the draw. Morgan Lovell grabbed six draw controls for the Panthers and her defense on Needham’s top attacker helped the Panthers turn the game around in the second half. Izzy Cross continued her strong play in attack with five goals and two assists. Ruby Risgin scored four times and set up another and Clara Blongastainer added a hat trick and a helper.
