Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, April 28, 2025


Baseball = Franklin, 11 @ Stoughton, 1 
– Final (5 inn.) – Franklin’s offense roared to life with a season-high 11 runs, turning a 4-0 lead into a commanding victory with seven runs between the fourth and fifth innings. The Panthers plated a pair in the first and two more in the third, including an RBI triple from Ryan Connelly, to stake a 4-0 lead. That lead doubled with a four spot in the fourth with both Jack Sullivan and Patrick Luizzi driving in a pair. Sullivan tacked on two more RBI in the fifth and Zach Winer had a sac fly to push the lead to double digits. Sullivan (four RBI, two runs) and Sean Kryzak (three runs) each had three hits, Luizzi (two RBI, run) had two), and Winer (two RBI, run), Connelly (RBI), DJ Silverstein (run), Cole Sidwell (two runs) and Joey Goguen each had one hit. Winer earned the win on the mound with one run charged on two hits and two walks, striking out five in four innings; senior Greg Bono struck out a pair in a scoreless inning in relief. Andrew Beder had a hit and an RBI for the Black Knights.


Softball = Stoughton, 0 @ Franklin, 12 – Final (6 inn.)
– Junior Sophia Sacramone dazzled in the circle and Franklin jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back in a big win over Stoughton. Sacramone tossed a one-hitter without issuing a walk, striking out eight in six shutout innings for the Panthers. Franklin provided plenty of offense for Sacramone, pushing across four runs in the bottom of the first, highlighted by an RBI double from Marley Allen, and then tacked on two more in the second when Allen hit a two-out, two-run double to right. Franklin added five more in the fifth and one more in the sixth to close out the win. Allen (three RBI, run) and Addi Weiss (two RBI, two runs) each had two hits for the Panthers, Ava Florest drove in a pair, and Josie Drucker chipped in with an RBI.

Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 12 @ Sharon, 10 – Final
Josh Perry, HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap ->
"For the second year in a row, Sharon went into halftime against perennial league power Franklin holding onto a lead. Sharon has never beaten the Panthers but on Monday afternoon at Gary Hall Stadium the Eagles looked in complete control after jumping out to a 6-1 first half lead and going into the halftime break up by four.

All Sharon needed to do was keep playing its style, at its pace, and not allow the visitors to go on a run, but there is a reason that Franklin has been at the top of the league for so many years.

The 11-time defending Kelley-Rex division champions came storming back in the second half. Franklin went on a 10-1 run between the second, third, and fourth quarters and turned a five-goal deficit into a four-goal lead. Sharon added a couple late goals, but Franklin remained perfect in Hock play with a 12-10 win.

“We told the offense that if they’re not going to start shooting, then the defense will,” first-year Franklin coach Chris Baker said about his message to the offense at halftime. “They’re a great Hock team. Every team in the Hock, this is how it is this year. If you sleep on anybody, you’re in trouble.”

Winer set the tone early, giving himself some help with a one-out home run in the top of the first, and senior Ryan Connelly came through with a two-out RBI single as the Panthers built an early 2-0 lead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Baseball = King Philip, 4 @ Franklin, 3 – Final (8 inn.)
- King Philip let a three-run lead slip in the bottom of the seventh but came back and regained it in the top of the eighth to score an important division win on the road at Franklin. KP scored once in the first, second, and sixth innings and was just three outs away from the win in the final inning. Franklin rallied with a single from Jack Sullivan, a walk from Sean Kryzak, and a single from Zach Winer to load the bases with no outs. After a pop up in the infield for the first out, Ryan Connelly brought the first run in on a fielder’s choice. With two outs, freshman Patrick Luizzi delivered a single up the middle to plate two runs to tie the game. Johnny Prater drew a leadoff walk but the Panthers got two outs. After Prater stole second, Ryan Burns — who scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch on Monday — delivered a clutch two-out single down the line to right to bring in the go-ahead run. Franklin got the tying run on with a two-out walk to Sullivan but Ryan Higgins closed the door with a grounder to third. Senior Drew Herlin drove in a pair of runs for the Warriors and junior Kevin Heine went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Cam Hasenfus took a shutout into the sixth for the Warriors, finishing with three runs against on three hits and a walk, striking out five in 6.2 innings. Winer gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits, two walks, and eight strikeouts in 5.1 innings for the Panthers. Owen Lewis tossed a scoreless inning in relief for Franklin.
