With the win, the Tigers improved to .500 with a 7-7 record and moved into the Davenport Division drivers seat as the season winds down. Coach Lindsey Allison's Tigers didn't make it easy on themselves, though. "There’s something about this team," she said. "They love to play with the bases loaded. They love to bat with two strikes. It’s just great to know that if their backs are against the wall they’re not going to give up." Stoughton, which dropped to 6-9 overall and fell into a tie with Sharon for second place in the division, stranded the bases loaded twice in the game: once in the fourth and once in the sixth.

With his opponent’s frustration building along side his patience. While OA fell to Franklin 3-2, O’Donnell slowly came back to win game, and then the set, and eventually the match 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. “He was trying to win it outright after the second of third hit instead of being patient. When he was patient he won the point so he just out toughed him,” …

Armani Reeves and Camren Williams, of Easton, will be honored next Monday at Lombardo's in Randolf by the National Football Foundation for excellence in athletics and academics.

The two switched their minds to Ohio State, however, after scandal erupted in Happy Valley involving alleged sexual assault incidents and cover-ups.

Tigers score 8 in the 6th to snap a two game skid.
The Oliver Ames baseball team got more hits in the sixth inning Monday afternoon they it had in the previous 12. After being no-hit by a trio of King Philip pitchers in Sunday's 3-1 loss, OA had trouble manufacturing runs in the first five innings of Monday's bout with Attleboro at Frothingham Park. But, traling 2-1 in the sixth, the OA offense exploded with eight runs on six hits to lift the Tigers to a 9-2 Hockomock League victory over the Blue Bomardiers. "They’ve been snake bit," OA coach Leo Duggan said. "They haven’t hit the ball very hard lately. In the sixth inning it was justified that we got some hits. Give the kids credit." Senior Matt Ingargiola led off the rally with a single and fellow senior Ryan O'Shea followed suit. After …
