Rene Rancourt Sings National Anthem at Framingham-Natick Game

When Natick and Framingham come together it is usually a battle, but Tuesday night the focus was on Connor Heffler, who is battling cancer.

Every player on the Natick baseball team wore jerseys bearing the name ”Heffler” with the number 7, in support of Connor.

With support from his siblings, Connor went to the pitcher’s mound to throw out the first pitch between the Flyers and the Redhawks.

Afterwards, he was joined by special guest Rene Rancourt, known for singing at Boston Bruins games, for a stirring rendition of our National Anthem.

Connor’s mom is a Natick Police Officer & his dad a DPW employee.

A 50/50 raffle during the game also supported the Heffler family.

At the end of the night, Natick was victorious 4-2 on the diamond.
