Boston Globe: "Jacob Jette takes charge in Franklin’s American Legion championship victory over Leominster"
"The four games leading to the final of the Massachusetts American Legion Senior Baseball Tournament all saw sixth or seventh-inning comebacks. In the championship game, Jacob Jette wouldn’t have it.
The eventual tournament MVP fired 71 of his 107 pitches for strikes, racking up eight strikeouts in 6 ⅓ innings (he was pulled due to tournament pitch count rules) to earn the 6-2 victory over Leominster for Franklin (20-4) at Milford’s Fino Field.
“My changeup was working really well,” Jette said. “It’s on and off, but today it was good. I was getting ahead on batters a lot with my curveball, which really helps.”
Jette (1 for 4) pitched in the high school state championship for Franklin, where he pitched well but Taunton got the win. Coach Tyler Pasquarosa said this game felt like his second chance."
"Today was surreal! Watching 3 All-Star teams win Championships all at the same site & seeing each age group & all the families supporting each other was amazing! Franklin=Special Town! Congratulations to the 9u, 10u, 11u& 12u teams that won today! #PantherPride #FranklinStrong"

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. Two outs into the bottom of the eighth, it had seen six pitches and struck out twice. Up came Luke Sidwell.
Franklin’s rising senior wasted no time, placing a bunt down the third base line on the first pitch. After a hit batter, Jack Marino stepped up to the plate, and his plate-protecting swing lofted a soft liner to left that fell in front of Scott Pagliuca and sealed the 7-6 victory at Milford’s Fino Field (Franklin was the home team, as decided by a coin toss)."
