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. Winer pitched well for Franklin, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks, striking out six in 5.1 innings.

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. Sarah Boozang also had two hits, including a double, for Franklin while Molly Willey had two doubles and an RBI for North Attleboro.


Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 10 @ Foxboro, 8 – Final
– A deflected shot from Franklin junior Thomas Quinn skipped into the back of the net with just under two minutes left, helping the Panthers escape an upset bid from Foxboro. The host Warriors stayed with the visitors for the entire game, tied at 6-6 at halftime and trailing just 9-7 going into the fourth. Foxboro sophomore Jack Taft scored the first goal of the fourth quarter with just over three minutes left to pull the hosts within one, 9-8, but Franklin didn’t let the Warriors get another shot on goal and closed out the win. Quinn, Jack O’Connor, Quinn Kielty, and Nate Walsh each scored twice for the Panthers while Charlie Ballarino and Drew McCarthy each had one. Senior Sam Freedman played well in net for the Panthers with eight saves. Foxboro freshman Bobby Hickox scored a hat trick, junior Michael McCabe tallied twice, and senior Aidan Waller (two assists) and sophomore Brayden MacKay (15-for-20 on faceoffs) each scored once.

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."
