Joe Clark, HockomockSports.com Contributor, provides the softball game recap:
"In a preliminary round matchup in MIAA Division One South tournament the 11th-seeded Franklin softball team played a near-flawless game, shutting out #22 Wellesley with a convincing 11-0 win.
After allowing a one-out single in the top of the first inning, Panther starter Jackie Cherry (4.1 IP, 1H, 5K) was lights out and didn’t allow another Raider hit while she was in the game.
Meanwhile, Franklin wasted little time to get its offense in gear. In the bottom of the first, Anna Balkus reached on a bunt single and came home two batters later on an RBI triple by Sarah Jackson."Continue reading the recap:

Staff Sergeant Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr. written by Angela Baker
I received the email in January, 2019:
Recently, Angela sent along a copy of her final paper to share:
"My name is Angela Baker. I am a Franklin resident who is currently a college junior majoring in history at George Washington University. I am presently enrolled in a class which is studying the impact of the D-Day invasion on individual communities and soldiers. For this class, I have been tasked with writing a biography of a soldier from Franklin who participated in the invasion and is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery"
Recently, Angela sent along a copy of her final paper to share:
"On June 6, 1944, one of the greatest, most ambitious, military operations in history occurred. In an effort to liberate France from German occupation and to save Europe from Hitler’s grasp, Allied troops landed at Normandy. It was the beginning of the end of a war spurred by tyranny and oppression, that had brought tragedy and grievous human suffering. Thousands would die in the operation, yet it allowed the Allies to begin their advance toward Germany, toward the end of the war, and toward peace. The men who participated in the operation could hardly know what lay ahead of them at the start of D-Day. This is the story of one of those men. This is the story of Staff Sergeant Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr."https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0wjbnXDBhczb3ZHbGlvQUNhdWw2Tk9ZWW40aWkycnVvYXZF/view?usp=sharing

FSPA Alum Returns to Choreograph FPAC’s Cabaret
Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) alum Chris LeBeau has returned from NYC to create new choreography for the Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC)’s production of Cabaret.
Originally from Holliston, LeBeau received his BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University’s prestigious Drama Department. His national tour credits include Chicago The Musical (ensemble, understudy Amos Hart) and The Producers (ensemble, understudy Leo Bloom).
In NYC, LeBeau performed at Lincoln Center for the 25th Anniversary celebration of Crazy for You! with choreography by Susan Stroman and took part in the Lab presentation of Babes in Arms under Randy Skinner's direction. Regionally, he has been seen in Mary Poppins, Guys and Dolls, The Producers, Cabaret, Chicago, Man of La Mancha, 42nd Street, and others.
This past fall, LeBeau was back in Franklin for FPAC’s production of Disney’s Newsies starring Broadway’s Christopher Rice (The Book of Mormon, Pretty Woman) with choreography by Chaz Wolcott (Newsies, CATS, So You Think You Can Dance). LeBeau played Davey in the production.
LeBeau brings his Fosse Dance expertise to develop new choreography for the classic musical. Kander and Ebb’s famous songs from the show include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Two Ladies.” Cabaret will feature additional kick-line choreography by Kellie Stamp.
Cabaret runs for three performances at THE BLACK BOX June 14 and 15. For tickets and more information about FPAC’s Cabaret, visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com or call the box office at 508-528-3370.

FHS baseball drops first round game 5-3 to North Andover
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap of the FHS baseball loss to North Andover in the first round of the Super 8 playoffs.
"After getting three straight outs to leave the bases loaded in the top of the ninth inning, Franklin came to bat in the bottom half with the momentum on its side.
Trailing 5-3 to eighth-seeded North Andover, the top-seeded Panthers found themselves with a chance to potentially tie or win the game in their last at-bats. Dan Markowski led off with a double and Joe Lizotte singled. After a strikeout and a fielder’s choice put runners at the corners, Franklin had senior captain Alex Haba, the Hockomock League’s batting champion and MVP, at the plate.
On a 1-1 count, Haba swung and missed for strike two and senior Scott Elliott, who reached on the fielder’s choice, sprinted and slid into second safely for a stolen base to put the tying run on second base. But before the Elliott could dust off the dirt, the home plate ump signaled for interference at the plate and called the third out, leaving the Panthers at a loss in an opening round matchup of the MIAA Super 8 tournament.
“There’s never one pitch, one swing, one call, one play that defines a game,” said Franklin coach Zach Brown. “The Super 8 is nine innings, 27 outs, and there’s a million opportunities in that game for us to execute better and change the outcome. Yes, I would have liked to have seen that sequence play out with runners at second and third and the league MVP at the plate. I definitely would have liked to have see that play out but that’s not the reality of the situation."
