Boston Globe Schools: "Franklin Post 75′s American Legion state champions"

"Alfred Mucciarone was not pleased with how the spring high school baseball season ended.

After Franklin lost in the state championship for the second year in a row, Mucciarone was left to decide how he would spend his final summer before playing in college at UMass-Lowell.

Why not play for his town one more time?

Mucciarone is one of a number of local seniors on the Franklin Post 75 Legion baseball team, which won its second straight state title Friday by defeating Shrewsbury Post 397, 6-5, at Mahan Field."

Boston Globe: American Legion Baseball - Franklin 7, Milford 6

"The Franklin baseball team had not scored in five innings while watching Milford turn a 6-1 deficit into an extra-innings ballgame in the Massachusetts American Legion Senior Baseball Tournament.
