FHS baseball, softball, boys and girls lacrosse, and boys tennis post wins on Monday
From Hockomock Sports, we share the results of the FHS spring sports action on Monday, May 8.
Baseball = Franklin, 1 @ Oliver Ames, 0 – Final
A pitcher’s duel broke out at Frothingham Park on Monday afternoon between Franklin’s Jake Noviello and Oliver Ames’ Sam Burr. The difference in the game came in the fourth inning when the Panthers scored the lone run of the game. Jake Lyons’ swinging bunt forced an errant throw to first, allowing the Franklin senior to get to second. Lyons moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from sophomore Alex Haba and came home on a sacrifice fly from Ryan Hodgkins. Josh Macchi had a pair of hits for Franklin. Noviello earned the win, allowing just three hits, walking one and striking out five in a complete game effort. Burr scattered six hits without issuing a walk, striking out three in a complete game performance.
Softball = Oliver Ames, 4 @ Franklin, 8 – Final
Franklin struck for six runs over the first three innings and tacked on two more in the fifth to double up on Oliver Ames. Ally Shea paced the offense, going 4-for-4 with four RBI while Anna Balkus chipped with two hits and two stolen bases. Emily Valentino earned the win for the Panthers, striking out three. For Oliver Ames, Katie Mills had a pair of doubles and two RBI, Sarah Tetrault had a pair of hits with a run scored and Caroline Mahoney went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 10 @ Oliver Ames, 2 – Final
Sam Arsenault scored a hat trick and Eric Civetti and Chase Tanner each netted a pair in Franklin’s win over Oliver Ames. “OA played very well defensively, we had to work for this win,” said FHS head coach Lou Verrochi. Jonathan O’Glishen and Nitin Chaudhury each chipped in with a goal, Jacob Alexander won 14 of 16 face offs and Connor O’Rourke recorded eight saves in the cage for the Panthers.
Girls Lacrosse = Oliver Ames, 4 @ Franklin, 15 – Final
Annie Walsh registered five points while Erin Walsh, Caroline Lounsbury and Jordan Jette each recorded four points apiece to pace the Panthers past Oliver Ames. Annie Walsh scored four goals and had one assist to go along with Erin Walsh’s four goals, Lounsbury’s three goals and one assist and Jette’s four assists. FHS head coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said Grace McDermott (three draw controls, three ground balls) played well defensively. The Panthers’ offensive burst could have been higher if not for an incredible 27-save performance from OA goalie Ari Waldorf.
Boys Tennis = Oliver Ames, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final
Girls Tennis = Franklin, 2 @ Oliver Ames, 3 – Final
After splitting the first four matches, it came down to second doubles between Franklin and Oliver Ames.

"Four years after the Boston Marathon terror attack, Bill Richard continues to share his son’s message of peace and kindness.
The attack, which took place near the finish line of the race on April 15, 2013, killed three people - including Bill’s son Martin - and injured at least 264. The attack involved two pressure cooker bombs placed on Boylston Street that detonated 12 seconds apart.
“We were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Richard said Monday at Horace Mann Middle School. “We lost Martin, people were hurt, and hundreds of people are still dealing with their injuries today.”
A year after the loss of his eight-year-old son, Richard created the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation Inc., to honor and preserve the memory of his son and his message to the world: “No more hurting people. Peace.”

"Change has been a constant in Franklin’s downtown neighborhood, but its place as an active center of town life hasn’t changed.
The area - largely defined by the triangle formed by Main, Emmons and West Central streets - boasts an MBTA commuter rail station, a museum and the town fire department, as well as a mix of restaurants, retailers and organizations.
The downtown’s current look is no accident - it’s the product of a continuing effort to make the area more friendly for those who wish to come by and wander. The downtown transformed during a two-year overhaul - a “streetscape” project - that changed the traffic pattern on several streets from one-way to two-way, among other improvements."
