Wins all around on Wednesday for FHS girls & boys lacrosse, girls & boy tennis as well as softball & baseball teams

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


Baseball = Franklin, 3 @ North Attleboro, 2 – Final 
– In a defensive battle, Franklin held on for a tight win on the road, stranding the tying and winning run on base in the bottom of the seventh. After a scoreless first two innings, the Panthers opened up the game in the third inning off of an error. Sean Kryzak got the Panthers on the board again in the fifth inning with a two-out, two-run double to left field, plating Jack Sullivan and Owen Pennini, who had back-to-back singles. North Attleboro was able to get some momentum going in the sixth inning with Marty Rogers and Jake Ronci both scoring. North threatened in the bottom of the seventh when Tommy Manning walked and Zach Breton was hit by a pitch, but Jacoby Brown induced a ground ball for the third out. Sullivan (three hits) and Owen Pennini (two hits, two runs) led the Panther’s offensive charge. Freshman Ethan Edmunds had a great first five innings on the mound for Franklin, only surrendering four hits and striking out nine.

Softball = North Attleboro, 3 @ Franklin, 9 – Final 
– The Panthers jumped out to a lead right away with a four-run first inning and after North Attleboro cut into the deficit in the top of the third, answered with a three-spot in the bottom half to secure a win at home over the Rocketeers. Franklin’s patience at the plate in the bottom of the first turned into a 4-0 lead for the hosts. Sophomore Kate Juergens clubbed a double to score classmate Lindsey DeGirolamo (triple), and Molly Willey came through with a two-out single to plate Juergens to cut the deficit in half. But Franklin’s offense came back with a two-out rally, including a two-run double from Olivia Caruso (3-for-4, four RBI, run) and an RBI single from Sophia Sacramone to push the lead to 7-2. Caruso added an RBI single in the fifth and plated another run with a sac fly in the sixth to cap a strong day at the plate. Addi Weiss added two hits and scored two runs for Franklin. Sacramone earned the win in the circle, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits, one walk, and three strikeouts; Abby Souza tossed two scoreless innings in relief without giving up a hit.

Boys Lacrosse = Foxboro, 9 @ Franklin, 15 – Final 
– The Panthers built a five-goal lead by halftime and kept that advantage throughout the second half to knock off the visiting Warriors. Junior Charlie Ballarino (three assists) and freshman Kellan Taccini (one assist) each scored four goals to spearhead the attack for Franklin. Senior Thomas Quinn (two assists) scored a hat trick, senior Quinn Kielty (assist) tallied twice, and seniors Ryder Hanchett and Ben Scaccia each found the back of the net once. Senior Ethan Barnes helped anchor the defense with four takeaways and four ground balls while senior Dean Lawless made 10 saves in the cage.

Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 12 @ Foxboro, 8 – Final

Boys Tennis = North Attleboro, 1 @ Franklin, 4 – Final

Girls Tennis = Franklin, 3 @ North Attleboro, 2 – Final
