"A remarkable season has come to a close for Franklin Post 75.
After taking a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, Upper Deck Post 14 (Rhode Island) answered with two runs in the sixth before adding an insurance run in the seventh to secure a 3-1 victory in an elimination game at the American Legion Northeast Regional Tournament.
Franklin battled throughout the afternoon in a tightly contested pitchers' duel, but Rhode Island capitalized late and held off Post 75's final comeback attempt to advance in the tournament.
Final Score:
Upper Deck Post 14 (Rhode Island) – 3
Franklin Post 75 – 1
Despite today's result, Franklin closes out an outstanding summer that included an undefeated regular season, a Massachusetts American Legion State Championship, and a trip to the Northeast Regional Tournament to represent the Commonwealth on one of the region's biggest stages.
Congratulations to Franklin Post 75 on an incredible 2026 season, and thank you to everyone who followed along with our coverage throughout the summer."
