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."

FHS' Mucciarone named MVP for 2023 Hockomock Baseball All Stars 

HockomockSports.com: "Taunton Uses Fast Start to Beat Franklin, Repeat as Champs"

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap for the Taunton vs Franklin D1 Baseball Final at Polar Park in Worcester on Sunday.

"There are few secrets between league rivals. When Franklin and Taunton squared off at Polar Park on Sunday night for the Div. 1 state championship (a rematch of the 2022 title game), it was the third meeting of the year and sixth in the past two seasons. Both teams knew exactly what they were up against in the final.

Going up against Franklin ace Alfred Mucciarone, Taunton’s strategy was to be aggressive, not allowing the Hockomock MVP to get up in counts and to try and get on the board first. The strategy worked perfectly.

Taunton (21-4) took advantage of uncharacteristic defensive lapses from the Panthers, got clutch hitting from the top of the order, and scored six runs in the opening two innings to support a stellar pitching performance from sophomore Jonny Escobalez. It all came together in a 7-2 victory, a second straight D1 crown, and the program’s third title in the past four seasons.

“With Mucciarone, he’s the best pitcher in the state, we knew we were going to be aggressive,” said Taunton coach Blair Bourque. “If he could get ahead, we knew we’d be in trouble, so we were trying to be very aggressive, barrel balls up, get guys on, we were able to capitalize.”

Baseball = Division 1 Final Four = #21 Methuen, 0 vs. #1 Franklin, 4 – Final

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:

"When the Franklin players watched Taunton celebrate at Holy Cross University’s Fitton Field in the final game of last season, the Panthers committed to giving themselves another chance at bringing home a state title.

On Tuesday night, at the same location as last year’s final, Franklin made sure its quest for a championship would go right to the end.

Austin Campbell and Dillon Cashin combined for a shutout and Eisig Chin had two hits and scored two runs, as the Panthers avoided the upset against No. 21 Methuen, pulling out a 4-0 win and setting up a rematch with the Tigers in the title game.

“I think we have great leadership,” Franklin coach Zach Brown said about what it has taken for his team to get back to this stage. “We have 15 seniors and all of them are tremendous leaders in their own way and they’re all great kids. These guys have stayed the course, they’ve stayed connected, and I’m really proud of their effort on a day-to-day basis.”

FHS baseball and girls lacrosse teams both post wins on Wednesday to advance in playoffs

Via HockomockSports.com and Twitter, we share the results of the spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, June 7, 2023. We also provide the link to the full set of Hockomock League results below.

Baseball = Division 1 = #17 Walpole, 2 @ #1 Franklin, 5 – Final 

– A four-run fifth inning helped Franklin land a comeback win over an upset-minded Walpole team. The visitors built a two-run lead by scoring once in each the second and third innings, and kept Franklin in check for the first four innings. Eisig Chin reached on an error in the fourth inning to score Ryan Gerety (single), and Henry Digiorgio did the same to bring Jase Lyons (fielder’s choice) home to make it 2-2. An RBI single from Ben Jarosz brought Chin home for the go-ahead run and Luke Sidwell’s squeeze bunt plated Digiorgio to make it 4-2. Chin added a sac fly in the sixth to score Rex Cinelli (single) to add an insurance run for Franklin. Austin Campbell impressed in six innings of work, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk, striking out six for the win. Dillon Cashin needed just 10 pitches to retire the side in order in the seventh to get the save. #1 Franklin will host #9 Bridgewater-Raynham on Saturday at 6:00.

Softball = Division 1 = #19 Franklin, 0 @ #3 Taunton, 3 – Final 

– A three-run fourth inning proved to be plenty of offense for Taunton junior Sam Lincoln, who tossed a complete game shutout to lift the Tigers over league rival Franklin in a playoff showdown. Kaysie Demoura led off the fourth with a single and came home to score after a bunt from Hayley Krockta and an infield error. Brooke Aldrich, who was hit by a pitch, and Morgan Fitzgerald (fielder’s choice) also scored in the inning after a Franklin error. Bella Bourque and Ava Venturelli each had a pair of hits for the Tigers; Lincoln scattered three hits and didn’t issue a walk while striking out 12 batters for the win. Kiera Kotwicki, Katy Liberman, and Dana Stott each had a hit for Franklin. Kotwicki was strong in the circle, allowing two runs (one earned) one five hits and no walks; freshman Sophia Sacramone gave up just one unearned run on one hit and one walk, striking out one in three innings. #3 Taunton will host #11 Woburn on Friday night at 7:00.

Girls Lacrosse = Division 1 = #10 Concord-Carlisle, 3 @ #7 Franklin, 7 – Final

Franklin goals scored by Atkinson, K. Carney, K. Ryan (3), Peterson, Tanner.
