Baseball = Franklin, 17 @ King Philip, 6 – Final
By Tim Crowley || HockomockSports Contributor
"The Franklin Panthers certainly didn’t forget about their trio of losses to the King Philip Warriors last season.
The Warriors downed the Panthers three times in last spring — all by one run each. The final clash came in the MIAA state tournament when the Warriors earned a 2-1 walk-off win to eliminate their rivals. The first installment of the rivalry in 2026 had a much different tune as a major addition to the lineup helped the Panthers roll to a 17-6 victory Monday afternoon.
Freshman Ethan Edmunds knew plenty about Franklin’s heartwrenching end to the previous season. His impact around town is already on full display. He earned the starting nod as the varsity quarterback in the fall. Fast forward to Monday in his high school baseball debut, Edmunds left the yard twice — including a grand slam — to headline an explosive day at the dish for the Panthers."

Holding a 1-0 run lead through three innings, KP erupted for five runs in the fourth, three more in the fifth, and put up a four-spot in the sixth. Kelly Donahue (3-for-4, two RBI, four runs) ripped a one-out double to score Cheyenne Murray (triple) and Lauren Griffin (bunt single), Liv Wainwright added an RBI for the second straight game with a two-out single and senior Ali Gill drove in a run with a triple and scored on an error to make it 6-0. Gill earned a bases loaded walk in the fifth, sophomore Reegan Durden had an RBI ground out, and Murray added another bases loaded walk to push the lead to 9-0. Sophomore Annabelle Curran (three hits, two runs) showed off her speed with an RBI triple and scored on a base hit from Wainwright, who then came home on a two-run home run from Gill. Senior McCoy Walsh worked around seven walks, giving up just one run on two hits while striking out 11 to get the win. Addi Weiss and Phoebe O’Connor each had a hit for the Panthers.
