– This win was a special one for Franklin head coach Zach Brown. Not only was it his 200th career win with the Panthers, but his son Jacoby was the winning pitcher after a stellar relief appearance and freshman Ethan Edmunds — son of Brown’s longtime assistant Brett Edmunds — delivered the game-winning hit to walk it off in the bottom of the 11th inning. Jacoby Brown came on in the top of the eighth and kept the visiting Raiders quiet, giving up just one hit — a leadoff double on the first pitch he threw — and didn’t issue a single walk to give the Panthers a chance to win. Edmunds, who was intentionally walked in the bottom of the ninth with the winning run on third, got a second chance in the bottom of the 11th. Senior Jack Sullivan reached on an error, senior Sean Kryzak (two hits, run) was hit by a pitch, and senior James Bruso reached on an infield single to load the bases. Edmunds first hit of the day brought the game-winning run home for the walk off win. Sophomores Cam Lambert (RBI) amd Patrick Luizzi (RBI, run) each had two hits while junior Owen Pennini drove in a pair of runs for the Panthers.

Softball = Franklin, 2 vs. Hopkinton, 0 – Final 

– Franklin senior Sophia Sacramone dazzled in the circle in a complete game shutout effort to lead the Panthers to their biggest win of the season over D2 title contender Hopkinton. Sacramone scattered four walks in seven innings of work, striking out seven without issuing a walk. Scoreless through five innings, Sacramone helped her own cause with a clutch double in the bottom of the sixth to break the deadlock. Freshman Phoebe O’Connor (2-for-3) reached on an infield single and hustled all the way around the bases when Sacramone drove a double to right center field to make it 1-0. Senior Ava Florest (2-for-3) came through with another clutch hit with a two-out single to center to score Sacramone from second to make it 2-0. Senior Ella Weston also had a pair of hits for the Panthers in the win.
