Franklin shut out Hendersonville 6-0 on Saturday, Oct. 24, ending the Commandos' baseball season in the Class AAA sectional.
The loss closed an 11-5-1 campaign for Hendersonville. Franklin, now 19-2, advanced to what a post on X reporting the final score described as the Admirals' fourth straight Class AAA state tournament appearance. No individual pitching or hitting statistics from the sectional game were available at publication.
The Commandos reached the sectional round after winning two region tournament games on May 9. The Commando Baseball account on X called it a "total team effort for both games all the way around."
Hendersonville earned its region tournament berth earlier that week. The Commandos beat Green Hill 9-6 to punch their ticket, then topped Mt. Juliet 4-1 in an elimination game. Joseph Mosley went 4-for-4 with a home run and threw a complete game with 10 strikeouts against Mt. Juliet, according to the Commando Baseball account on X. Nate Lunger went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBIs in that game.
Mosley was later named to the All Region 4 Team for 2026, the program announced on June 14.
Beech beat Hendersonville 14-4 in five innings on May 4 to claim the District 7-4A title, according to the Buccaneer Athletics account on X. Trevor McManamon threw three innings of one-hit relief for the Bucs. Kaden Powell hit two home runs and Jackson Kennedy added one, while Wyatt Davis drove in four runs.
During the regular season, the Commandos swept Station Camp with a 12-2 road win on Friday, April 10. Cal Lax went 2-for-2 with a double, three runs and three RBIs. Hendersonville also swept a doubleheader against Lebanon on March 18, a game in which Mosley hit for the cycle.
The Commandos opened the 2026 season in February with a First Pitch Banquet that inducted former players Ben Glover and Brandon McClurg into the program's Hall of Fame. Franklin heads to the Class AAA state tournament next.
