Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, April 16, 2025


Baseball = Franklin, 4 @ Attleboro, 3 – Final 
– Attleboro scored twice in the bottom of the seventh and had the tying run at third but Franklin held on for a 4-3 victory for their first league win of the season. Franklin sophomore Cal McKenna came on in relief with the tying run at second and one out and got a fly ball to center for the second out. After Attleboro pinch runner Austin Taliaferro stole third to get the tying runner a bag away from home, McKenna got a punch out to end the game. Franklin took the lead with two runs in the top of the second on an RBI ground out from Cole Sidwell and a two-out RBI double from Jack Sullivan (2-for-4, double, triple). The teams traded runs in the third with Matt Luccini bringing in a run with an RBI groundout in the top half for the Panthers while Attleboro tied it after Jeremy O’Hara reached on a dropped third strike and Aidan Landers (2-for-3, run) came home from third. Franklin tacked on what looked like an insurance run in the top of the seventh, but it proved to be the game-winner. Joey Goguen plated Drake McAlpine with a sac fly to make it 4-1. O’Hara had a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to pull the Bombardiers within a run. Michael Huntington added two hits, two stolen bases, and a run for the Bombardiers. DJ Silverstein pitched well in a no-decision, allowing just one unearned run on five hits and four walks, striking out eight in 5.1 innings for the Panthers. Nick Daley gave up just one unearned run on one hit and one walk in three innings of relief for Attleboro, striking out one.


Softball = Attleboro, 7 @ Franklin, 4 – Final 
– Attleboro scored in six straight innings, building its lead over time to secure a win on the road at Franklin. The Bombardiers took the lead right off the bat in the top of the first on a two-run home run from Lola Ronayne but the Panthers responded right away, plating three in the bottom half to jump ahead: Sarah Boozang and Marley Allen each clubbed an RBI double and Addi Weiss came through with a two-out single to plate another run. From there, Attleboro scored once in five straight innings, tying the game in the top of the second when Emily Eby reached on a two-out error, and taking the lead back in the top of the third when Nina Sullivan had a two-out single to center. Eby added an RBI single in the fourth, Savannah Boedecker plated one with a sac fly in the fifth, and Jenna Callahan (ROE) scored on a wild pitch in the sixth. Ella Weston connected on an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh for the Panthers. Callahan earned the win in the circle for Attleboro, surrendering four runs on six hits and three walks, striking out a season-high 10 batters.


Boys Lacrosse = Canton, 4 @ Franklin, 10 – Final 
– Canton scored three straight goals at the end of the third quarter to cut a six-goal deficit in half but Franklin and senior goalie Sam Freedman stood tall the rest of the way, winning the fourth quarter 3-0 to fend off a feisty Bulldog squad. Franklin staked a 6-1 lead at halftime and scored the first goal of the third as the lead peaked at six goals. Canton’s Cam Conley scored two of his goals in a two-minute span and Cullen O’Brien added one with 1:34 to go in the third to make it 7-4. The game stayed that way for nearly five minutes into the fourth until Quinn Kielty deposited a shot from just outside the crease. Franklin tacked on insurance goals with just under five minutes to go and another with just over a minute left into an empty net. Freedman was the main difference, turning aside 15 shots to keep Canton at bay for the majority of the game. Thomas Quinn scored a hat trick to lead Franklin while Kielty and Charlie Ballarino each had two tallies.




Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 16 @ Canton, 0 – Final 
– Senior Maisie Streesman (five saves) and freshman Codi Lai (one saved) combined to earn the shutout in net as Franklin returned home from Canton with a convincing 16-0 win. Freshman Clara Blongastainer led the charge for the visitors, scoring five goals and adding one assist for a team-high six points. Senior Julia Flynn had seven draw controls and added four goals, Izzy Cross netted a hat trick, Vera Hansen tallied twice, and both Liza Kudish and Gabi Consigli (assist) found the back of the net once in the win.


Boys Tennis = Attleboro, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final
Attleboro, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final – Franklin freshman Deklan Morin and Anish Bokil prevailed from a three-set battle at first doubles to complete the 5-0 sweep for the Panthers. Morin and Bokil earned a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win while the team of senior Jai Kandula and Max Sebell added a 6-4, 6-1 second doubles victory. Franklin won all three singles matches in straight sets with senior Danny Reis winning at first singles (6-3, 6-2), senior Aaron Ramaswamy earning a victory at second singles (6-4, 6-3), and senior Gabe Terry securing a hard-fought third singles win (7-5, 6-3).

Girls Tennis = Franklin, 5 @ Attleboro, 0 – Final
Franklin, 5 @ Attleboro, 0 – Final – Franklin took all five matches in straight sets and the Panthers bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 5-0 sweep on the road.

Scott Mason (LinkedIn profile pic)
Scott Mason
Scott Mason has 93 wins in the Rhode Island - Massachusetts Senior Baseball League.  He hopes to notch his 100th by mid-summer.  No other pitcher in the league's history has more wins.

Scott, 62, dominates in this "Over 50" league, which is composed primarily of former college ballplayers as well as a few former minor and major leaguers.  Mason is on the short-list to make the league's Hall of Fame.

Scott was born and raised in Franklin.  He pitched for Franklin High School, the University of Dayton and Dean College, and had winning seasons at all three schools.  He pitched at Dean College under Rick Smith, former Superintendent of Schools in North Attleboro.  Said Smith about Mason: "He was and is the smartest player, and quickest learner, I ever coached...in my entire career, if I ever needed just one out, I would give the ball to Scott."

Scott was on the Franklin Town Council from 2005 to 2011, serving as its Chairman for the last two years.  He also coached youth baseball, including multiple high school and Legion teams.  

Scott is also a Franklin Historical Commission Member and a professional modeler of miniature railroad dioramas. Since 2022, Scott has re-created the Franklin Historical Museum's train depot diorama.

Scott was also a professional sports photographer, having worked for the  New England Patriots, the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Sun Chronicle.

Scott is married to Tina Powderly and together they have five children: Kelly (Cincinnati, Ohio), Kathryn (Franklin), Samantha (Boston), Tyler (Franklin) and Allison (Franklin).

Mason is slated to pitch Opening Day, April 26 at 9 AM, Cranston Stadium, Cranston, RI.

Baseball = North Attleboro, 5 @ Franklin, 2 – Final
- Senior Brady Paradis gave up just one run in five innings while sophomore Jake Ronci came in and closed the door with a two-inning save, escaping a major jam in the sixth inning as North Attleboro bounced back from a tough loss on Thursday with an impressive win at Franklin. Paradis allowed just one unearned run in the bottom of the third with just one hit against and three walks, striking out six. With North holding a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth, Franklin’s Zach Winer singled and Sean Kryzak walked and the Rocketeers turned to Ronci in relief. After an infield pop up, Franklin freshman Patrick Luizzi was hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out. Ronci got a massive strikeout and then induced a fly ball to foul territory near first base as North escaped the jam. The Rocketeers cashed in for some insurance runs in the top of the seventh as Gio Martello (single) and Paradis (error) both came home to score when Lucas Crovo reached on an infield error, pushing the lead to 5-1. The Panthers pulled one back with two outs in the bottom of the seventh but left fielder Ethan Belanger gunned a runner down at second for the final out of the game. Franklin took the lead when Matt Luccini (walk) scored on a passed ball but North went ahead with a three-run fourth inning. Nick Torres drove in Paradis and Crovo, who had back-to-back singles to start the inning and then scored on a double steal, with Bryce Silva (single) drawing Franklin’s attention at second. Winer pitched well for Franklin, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks, striking out six in 5.1 innings.

Softball = Franklin, 9 @ North Attleboro, 6 – Final
- A five-run fourth inning helped Franklin create enough separation as North Attleboro’s seventh-inning rally came up short at home. The Panthers had a 2-1 lead going into the fourth before Sophia Sacramone, Brooke Gatewood, and Ciara O’Brien all had doubles to help push the lead to 7-1. After North pulled one back in the bottom half, Sacramone (3-for-5, three doubles, three RBI, run) connected for another double, this time driving in a pair of runs. North rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh, including a two-run double from Jill Lewicki (2-for-4, two doubles, three RBI) and a sac fly from Emily Tucker. A single from freshman Lindsey DeGirolamo (3-for-4, RBI) put runners on the corners and brought the tying run up to the plate but sophomore Abby Souza got her fourth strikeout in her three-inning relief appearance for the final out. Both O’Brien (3-for-4, two RBI, run) and Marley Allen (4-for-4, two doubles, RBI, run) hit solo home runs for Franklin in the top of the second to take the lead for the first time. Sarah Boozang also had two hits, including a double, for Franklin while Molly Willey had two doubles and an RBI for North Attleboro.


Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 10 @ Foxboro, 8 – Final
– A deflected shot from Franklin junior Thomas Quinn skipped into the back of the net with just under two minutes left, helping the Panthers escape an upset bid from Foxboro. The host Warriors stayed with the visitors for the entire game, tied at 6-6 at halftime and trailing just 9-7 going into the fourth. Foxboro sophomore Jack Taft scored the first goal of the fourth quarter with just over three minutes left to pull the hosts within one, 9-8, but Franklin didn’t let the Warriors get another shot on goal and closed out the win. Quinn, Jack O’Connor, Quinn Kielty, and Nate Walsh each scored twice for the Panthers while Charlie Ballarino and Drew McCarthy each had one. Senior Sam Freedman played well in net for the Panthers with eight saves. Foxboro freshman Bobby Hickox scored a hat trick, junior Michael McCabe tallied twice, and senior Aidan Waller (two assists) and sophomore Brayden MacKay (15-for-20 on faceoffs) each scored once.


Girls Lacrosse = Foxboro, 8 @ Franklin, 12 – Final
Franklin TV video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vStBvwP_7Mw



Josh Perry, HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap -> 
"With 4:03 left in Monday afternoon’s showdown at Pisini Stadium, Foxboro senior Cate Noone leapt and buried a shot from the edge of the crease to bring the Warriors back within a single goal. Noone followed that by snagging the draw control (Foxboro won five of the six in the fourth quarter) to keep momentum with the visitors.

As Noone tried to bring the ball forward, Franklin senior Julia Flynn made the biggest defensive play of the night by knocking the ball loose to force a turnover. Flynn scooped the ground ball and fired a pass into the attacking half of the field.

Following a timeout, Franklin managed to hold possession for nearly 90 seconds, running the clock down to just 2:32 remaining when Izzy Cross drove towards the goal and scored her second goal of the night and sealed a 12-8 win and extended Franklin’s decade-long league win streak to 126 games."

2024 HockomockSports Baseball Awards recognizes FHS' Cinelli, Caccavelli & Campbell

2024 HockomockSports.com Baseball Awards recognize the following Franklin High School athletes:


Rex Cinelli – Franklin – Outfield
Franklin senior Rex Cinelli wrapped up a tremendous athletic career with a strong final spring. Cinelli, who earned HockomockSports.com Player of the Year in the fall for boys soccer, was a great leader for the Panthers this spring, who reached the tournament yet again. Defensively, he was reliable and covered a lot of ground in center field. Offensively, he had 26 hits and finished with a 0.342 batting average, including a pair of doubles, along with 10 RBI, 12 runs, seven walks, and 11 stolen bases. “Rex has been a two-year starter, batted in the middle of our lineup, and was our most consistent run producer,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “He was an elite defender in center field, but more importantly he’s a tireless worker and a great leader.”


Dom Caccavelli – Franklin – Infield
Franklin senior Dom Caccavelli ended his high school career on a high note, emerging into a key piece for the Panthers this season. Caccavelli provided strong defense while playing at second base and primarily hit second in the lineup, helping set the table for Franklin’s offense. During the 2024 season, he hit 0.328 on 19 hits, including a pair of hits. He scored 18 runs and drove in seven runs, also drawing 13 walks and stealing 13 bases. “Dom is a worker and leader and maximized his ability,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “He’s always been steady defensively but this year he made significant strides offensively and led our team in runs scored, stolen bases, and walks. Dom really had a great all-around senior season.”


Austin Campbell – Franklin – Pitcher
Franklin senior Austin Campbell was one of the toughest pitchers to have success against this year and helped the Panthers get back to the state tournament yet again this season. His record (3-5) was not indicative of his dominance on the mound this year as he led the Hockomock League with 88 strikeouts, allowing a total of just 31 hits and 17 earned runs. He finished his senior season with a 2.13 ERA. “Austin has tremendous stuff on the hill,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “Which is evident by his high strikeout totals and low hit totals. Austin is a great competitor who always wants the ball in big games and big spots. He will be greatly missed.”

FHS baseball team ends playoff run in 8th vs. St John's Shrewsbury (video)

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.


Baseball = Division 1 = #15 Franklin, 4 @ #2 St. John’s Shrewsbury, 5 – Final (8 inn.) 
– Down to its last out in the top of the seventh, Franklin rallied for a pair of runs to keep the game going but St. John’s came through with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth. A two-out, two-run double from senior Ben Yuknis plated a pair in the top of the third to give the Panthers an early lead. The Pioneers cut that lead in half with a run in the fourth and scored a trio of runs in the bottom of the sixth to seize their first lead of the game, 4-2. In the top of the seventh, sophomore Sean Kryzak led off with a walk, senior Henry Digiorgio singled, and Yuknis was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs. Senior Jake Shaughnessy came through with a single to left to bring in two runs and tie the game. Franklin had a chance to regain the lead in the top of the eighth when Kryzak singled and Dom Caccavelli walked, both with two outs, but the Pioneers got a big strikeout. St. John’s pushed across the winning run after a two-out single from Jamie Herlihy, who then stole second, and scored on a single from Brayden Mercier. Shaughnessy allowed one run on five hits and one walk, striking out seven in five innings.

FHS baseball tops Lawrence to advance in playoffs, girls tennis end playoff run at Belmont

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Sunday, June 2, 2024.


Baseball = Division 1 = #18 Lawrence, 2 @ #15 Franklin, 5 – Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provide the game recap:

"This time of year, there are no bad teams and there aren’t any easy games.

Against a talented Lawrence squad, #15 Franklin created enough offense and came up with key plays at key moments to secure a 5-2 win in a Division 1 Round of 32 matchup on Sunday evening.

Despite just five hits, Franklin manufactured five runs through a combination of walks (four), aggressive base running, and selfless plays at the dish. On the mound, senior Austin Campbell battled his way through six innings and delivered in the biggest moments of the game.

“Anybody that makes it to this point in the season is a good baseball team,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “This Lawrence team, they have a lot of pride and they’re well prepared. All the reports we got from teams that had played them were extremely complimentary of their lineup, how dangerous they were, and how aggressive they were. And it all played out there [tonight].”
