Shea’s throw to first was errant, and Franklin would win 6-5.Ĭaccavelli’s walk-off fielder’s choice started the championship celebration for Franklin, the now back-to-back state champions. With two outs, the bases loaded, and the game tied, Franklin’s Dominic Caccavelli tapped the ball back to Brady Shea, who pitched in relief of Walton. The Franklin defense was in shambles, but – unfortunately for Shrewsbury – their offense was able to pick up the pieces in the bottom half of the inning. (Photo/Evan Walsh)Īided by three Franklin errors (including one unfortunate miscue by Franklin’s right fielder), Peris’s second single of the game, and Pat McManus’s leadoff hit-by-pitch, Shrewsbury scored three much-needed runs and led 5-3 going into the bottom of the seventh. The Shrewsbury team gathers before rallying in the seventh inning. However, Franklin didn’t blink, hitting three straight singles of their own to score another run. Three straight singles – by Jimmy Mitchell, Tedy Cove, and Brady Collins – helped tie the game in the top of the sixth. With little offense up to that point, Peris provided the spark Shrewsbury needed. Peris’s baserunning prowess – which Shrewsbury fans have become accustomed to – resulted in the game’s first run Peris opened the scoring on Jimmy Railsback’s RBI groundout. After his leadoff single in the top of the third inning, Andrew Peris surprised nobody when he stole second base.

Mucciarone was just as stellar, striking out nine over his 5.1 innings on the bump.Īlthough both pitchers started strong, they began to crack as the game progressed. Walton, who threw 104 pitches over 6.1 innings, retired seven of the first eight batters he faced to open the game. Both starting pitchers – Shrewsbury’s Ryan Walton and Franklin’s Alfred Mucciarone – kept the opposing offenses off-balance.
Franklin’s three-run seventh inning lifted the team to their second-straight state title.
