The Post 75 Senior Team closes out their season, the Post 75 Junior Team still playing

via MyFM103

"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."

FHS girls tennis and baseball teams end playoff runs on Sunday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Sunday, May 31, 2026

Baseball = Division 1

#19 Leominster, 6 @ #14 Franklin, 3 – Final 

– Franklin orchestrated a seventh inning rally and brought the tying run to the plate but the Panthers’ comeback bid was cut short against Leominster. Held to three hits through six innings, the hosts collected four hits in the final frame, and had a chance to tie it with two outs. Joey Goguen, Ashton Levesque, and Ethan Herndon singled to load the bases, and Jack Sullivan came through with the Panthers’ fourth hit of the inning to bring in a run, and Levesque scored on a wild pitch in the next at-bat. Leominster was able to get a strikeout to end the game, stranding runners at second and third. Sean Kryzak hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning for Franklin, tying the game at 1-1. Leominster regained the lead with a sac fly in the third, and then used a bases loaded walk, sac fly, and errant pickoff attempt to plate three more in the fourth.

FHS softball and baseball teams posts wins on Friday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, May 22, 2026

Baseball = Franklin, 3 vs. Hopkinton, 0 – Final 

– Sophomore Anthony Ficco delivered another stellar outing on the mound, tossing his second consecutive complete game shutout to lift Franklin to a win over Hopkinton in the opening round of the Pedroli tournament. Ficco gave up just two hits and two walks, striking out three while facing three over the minimum in the win. The Panthers scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the third inning. Drake McAlpine (HBP), Jack Sullivan (walk), and Sean Kryzak (walk) all reached to lead off the inning, and Ethan Edmunds brought in the first run with an RBI groundout. With two on and two outs, Joey Goguen came through with the key hit to bring in two more runs to make it 3-0. Kryzak, Goguen, and Henry George each had one hit apiece.

Softball = Franklin, 12 @ Walpole, 4 – Final 

– The Panthers jumped all over the Timberwolves early and came away with one of their best wins of the season to end the regular season on a high note. Franklin’s first two batters were retired to start the game but the Panthers then went on a remarkable stretch with 10 batters in a row reaching base, including nine hits, and resulting in eight runs in the opening frame. The visitors continued to stay hot at the dish in the second as four straight Panthers had a hit, including a two-run double from Olivia Ross, as the lead jumped to 11-0 over Walpole (D2 #5). In total, Franklin belted out 17 hits in the win. Ava Florest had a team-high three hits and added an RBI and three runs scored while Addi Weiss (RBI, run), Amelia Rakitin (three RBI), Phoebe O’Connor (RBI, run, double), Brooke Bonetti (RBI, two runs), Ella Weston (two RBI, run), and Ross (RBI, two runs) each had two hits. Ciara O’Brien struck out three in the first two innings while Sophia Sacramone struck out six in five innings of relief.

FHS boys tennis and baseball (video) teams top King Philip on Friday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, May 8, 2026

Baseball = King Philip, 7 @ Franklin, 8 – Final (8 inn.)

Franklin TV video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM5-gVXO9C0

Softball = Franklin, 0 @ King Philip, 2 – Final 

– McCoy Walsh outdueled Ciara O’Brien to earn a narrow win for the Warriors, which keeps KP just one game back of league-leading Taunton in the Kelley-Rex standings and secures a sweep of the season series with the Panthers. Both pitchers struck out 11 batters, and the teams were held to just four hits combined (O’Brien pitching around six walks). The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fifth. Emma Flaherty’s one-out grounder wasn’t fielded cleanly, and freshman courtesy runner Lexie Davis (who was running for Bailey Cederbaum after a walk) was able to come in with what turned out to be the game-winning run. Flaherty delivered again in the sixth, her two-out single bringing in Davis with a big insurance run. Walsh closed out the game with a strikeout and a pair of fly balls. Cheyenne Murray, Annabelle Curran, and Flaherty had hits for the Warriors. O’Brien had the lone hit of the game for Franklin.

Boys Tennis = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 2 – Final 

– Franklin swept doubles and added a singles win to earn a big division win on the road at King Philip. Sophomore Anish Bokil picked up the singles point for the Panthers at second singles, while seniors Jackson Labella and Rick Yuan earned a 6-3, 6-3 win at first doubles. At second doubles, juniors Ronan Saidha and Rushil Partidar closed out a tight second-set tiebreak for a 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) victory. King Philip got wins from senior Luke Bailer, 6-3, 6-2 at first singles, and freshman Zach Bailer, who battled to a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 win at third singles.
