Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, May 22, 2026


Baseball = Franklin, 3 vs. Hopkinton, 0 – Final 
– Sophomore Anthony Ficco delivered another stellar outing on the mound, tossing his second consecutive complete game shutout to lift Franklin to a win over Hopkinton in the opening round of the Pedroli tournament. Ficco gave up just two hits and two walks, striking out three while facing three over the minimum in the win. The Panthers scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the third inning. Drake McAlpine (HBP), Jack Sullivan (walk), and Sean Kryzak (walk) all reached to lead off the inning, and Ethan Edmunds brought in the first run with an RBI groundout. With two on and two outs, Joey Goguen came through with the key hit to bring in two more runs to make it 3-0. Kryzak, Goguen, and Henry George each had one hit apiece.

Softball = Franklin, 12 @ Walpole, 4 – Final 
– The Panthers jumped all over the Timberwolves early and came away with one of their best wins of the season to end the regular season on a high note. Franklin’s first two batters were retired to start the game but the Panthers then went on a remarkable stretch with 10 batters in a row reaching base, including nine hits, and resulting in eight runs in the opening frame. The visitors continued to stay hot at the dish in the second as four straight Panthers had a hit, including a two-run double from Olivia Ross, as the lead jumped to 11-0 over Walpole (D2 #5). In total, Franklin belted out 17 hits in the win. Ava Florest had a team-high three hits and added an RBI and three runs scored while Addi Weiss (RBI, run), Amelia Rakitin (three RBI), Phoebe O’Connor (RBI, run, double), Brooke Bonetti (RBI, two runs), Ella Weston (two RBI, run), and Ross (RBI, two runs) each had two hits. Ciara O’Brien struck out three in the first two innings while Sophia Sacramone struck out six in five innings of relief.
