| FHS Panthers |
Outfield - Erin Hanley, Franklin
Franklin's senior centerfielder was one of the Panthers most consistent performers over the course of the season. At the top of the Franklin lineup, Hanley hit .333 with a team-high of 81 plate appearances. She scored 17 runs, drove in seven and showed some pop to go along with her speed by hitting six doubles and two triples this season. Hanley was also a solid defensive outfielder who reads the game well. She helped Franklin reach the second round of the D1 South tournament.
Bench - Brie Flaherty, Franklin
Flaherty, who was also recognized as a top catcher last year, was a source of power in the Franklin lineup and a leader from behind the plate for the Panthers. The senior hit .314 this season with six doubles, three homers, and 19 RBI. The UMass Dartmouth-commit is one of the top players at arguably the league's deepest position and was chosen as an All-Star by the league's coaches while helping the Panthers reach the second round of the tournament.
Pitching Rotation - Sabrina LoMonaco, Franklin
The Franklin senior had another solid spring in the circle for the Panthers. As Franklin's ace, LoMonaco threw more than 115 innings this season and finished with an 11-8 record and a 1.64 ERA. LoMonaco struck out 106 batters whie walking only 38 and she finished with an imppresive WHIP of 1.16. She was named a league All-Star by the coaches and helped lead the Panthers into the second round of the D1 South sectional.
