Franklin Post 75 responded in dominant fashion after dropping its opener, earning an 11-2 win over Weymouth. Franklin’s offense exploded, highlighted by a standout performance from Winer, who belted a home run and drove in five runs. Starting pitcher Phillip was solid, allowing just two runs and striking out six in six innings of work. The win was a statement after Thursday’s season-opening loss to Natick. In that game, Franklin fell 6-4 despite a strong outing from starting pitcher Campbell, who struck out six and gave up just one hit and no earned runs over three innings. However, Natick capitalized on Franklin’s bullpen later in the game to pull ahead. Offensively, Luccini and Winer provided most of the firepower with a pair of hits and three RBIs combined. Franklin’s latest win over Weymouth showed what this team is capable of when firing on all cylinders. With strong arms on the mound and a deep lineup led by Winer, Post 75 is poised to bounce back and make some noise this Legion season. They’ll look to build on the momentum moving forward.
