Alex Lutky dreamt of walking off Franklin. The King Philip senior did so in the Division 1 quarterfinals

With a swift motion, Lutfy caught the pitch with the end of his bat, lifting it the opposite way to left, and the ball was not handled, dropping in to lift the fourth-seeded Warriors to a frenetic 2-1 win. Fairy-tale ending! Alex Lutfy lifts a bases-loaded single over Franklin's left fielder, who barely caught a piece of the ball but didn't manage to haul it in. Unreal. — Graham Dietz (@graham_dietz) KP (20-4) will take on No. 8 Braintree (15-8) in a state semifinal (TBD). 'You can't make that feeling up,' said Lutfy, who was 3 for 4 in the designated hitter spot. 'It's like Christmas morning. I don't know how else to put it. Probably the greatest thing I've ever done.' Advertisement 'We battle Franklin every year and they've had our number for quite a while,' King Philip coach Jeff Plympton Jr. said. 'This year, we got two wins against them [in the regular season] probably [for the first time] since 2016. If we won those two, we needed to win this one.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The game was a duel into the seventh, with Cam Hasenfus and Franklin's Zach Winer matching pitch for pitch. Winer yielded two hits over six innings, fanning seven, allowing an unearned run. Hasenfus scattered seven hits in a complete-game effort, walking one and striking out four. 'Unbelievable. MVP of the Hockomock, and it's not an easy thing to do — pitch like that in front of this environment,' Plympton Jr. said. 'Anytime he takes the mound, this team has tremendous energy, and they want to play for him … It felt like a basketball atmosphere there at the end.' Advertisement The Arlington Catholic baseball team shows off its new banner after advancing to the Division 3 state semifinals. Graham Dietz Division 3 State Arlington Catholic 5, Foxborough 3 — In the bottom of the sixth inning, in a bases-loaded, two-out jam, Arlington Catholic senior Matthew Toland saw his pitch ricochet off the bat of Foxborough's Ben Angelini. His reaction? 'Oh no.' A trip to the semifinals, the first in program history, was on the line. 'You know, this could be a bases-clearing double,' Toland said. 'But [Ryan Tarello]'s the fastest kid I know. He covers ground so well.' By the time Angelini's moonshot to center field reached its apex, Tarello was already perched under it with his mitt open. The ball landed safely into his glove, and 11th-seeded Arlington Catholic (16-6) was on its way to the victory in a game that was suspended Saturday (with AC on top, 3-1) because of rain. Toland put away all but one batter in the seventh, who walked, and recorded the final out himself by tossing a short grounder to first. 'Toland, he's the [Catholic Central] league MVP two years in a row,' Arlington Catholic coach Chris Hall said. 'We have confidence in all our pitchers, but he's been the central core. And it's ironic that when Matt pitches, Ryan goes to center, and he maybe made the catch of the program on that play.' In addition to pitching the final five innings, Toland also had two RBIs — one Saturday, and another in the top of the fourth when play resumed. Coleman O'Neill, Tyler Valente, Pat Clair and Trey Flaherty all collected hits, with Clair's RBI double to left-center in the top of the fifth increasing the lead to 5-1. Advertisement Aidan Stow had an RBI double for Foxborough in the fifth. 'It's obviously easy to pitch coming in with the lead,' Toland said. 'We just knew we had to come in here and get on them early, because we had to keep up the momentum and couldn't let them get anything.'

Boxers deliver standout performances across three days of action

TWO boxers from Blackbird Leys ABC delivered standout performances across three thrilling days of action at the Ed Bilbey Box Cup in Grantham. Senior middleweight Jamal Franklin, 19, and youth welterweight Yousef Elmgraif, 17, represented the Oxford club. In the quarter-finals, Franklin was drawn against the highly-rated Tommy Naismith from York. Over three intense rounds, Franklin displayed sharp technical ability, adapting to his opponent's style and forcing a standing count in the final round. Franklin's dominance was reflected in a unanimous decision victory, setting the tone for a strong weekend. READ ALSO: Great and good pay tribute to former U's youth chief Elmgraif began his campaign against Nauman Ilyas of Solihull. Using his range and dynamic level changes, he overwhelmed his opponent, delivering three standing counts and forced a stoppage in the third round. Day two brought fresh challenges. Franklin faced local veteran Nathan Wallace (34) from Grantham ABC in the semi-finals. Despite Wallace's cut from the previous day reopening early in the bout, Franklin controlled much of the action, effectively evading wild charges while landing cleaner shots. In a result that surprised both corners, the bout was awarded to Wallace on a split decision. Elmgraif's semi-final saw him matched against Hayden Lloyd of Touch Gloves Grantham. Lloyd's style was no match for Elmgraif's relentless pressure and composed aggression, and earned another unanimous decision to book his place in the final. On finals day, Elmgraif faced Aidan Perry of White Rose Boxing Club for the Youth Class B under-67kg title. Undeterred by Perry's height advantage, Elmgraif worked both head and body with relentless forward pressure, again securing a unanimous decision and taking home the gold medal.
