🥎Game of the Day
With the way she was pitching, one run was going to be enough for Izzy Sousa.
But then the St. Raphael softball team decided to give her a little more.
Up one run in the middle of a pitchers duel, the Saints’ offense exploded in the sixth inning, piling on six runs to create a stress-free seventh for Sousa, who finished off her two-hit shutout in a 7-0 win over East Providence.
The first five innings was a brilliant duel between Sousa, the All-Stater, and Cassie Dulude, the Townies’ powerful right hander. Dulude was methodical, keeping Saints off the bases and making it look like a run wasn’t going to be a part of the equation.
Sousa was dominant when she had to be. She loaded the bases with two walks in the second, only to get a strikeout and groundout to end the threat. In the third, Audrey Bernard hit a leadoff triple, but Sousa kept her there with two strikeouts sandwiching a failed squeeze attempt.
St. Raphael finally got to Dulude in the fifth with a two-out rally that started with a Noelle Welch double and an RBI single from Sophie Roman.
East Providence went to freshman reliever Avery Duarte in the sixth and the Saints showed patience at the plate, using three walks to load the bases with one out. Dulude re-entered and Makayla McDermott greeted her with an RBI single to left field to make it 2-0.
The hit was infectious. Welch followed with an RBI single, Roman drew a bases-loaded walk, Sousa plated two with a single and Emma Martin capped the scoring with a sacrifice fly to make it 7-0.
Sousa came out and closed things clean. The junior threw a gem, giving up two hits and three walks while striking out 15.
Welch led the offense with two hits, two runs and one RBI. Roman and Sousa both finished with two RBI. St. Raphael improves to 11-5 with the win and remains fifth in the Division I RPI standings. The Saints close the regular season Tuesday at Smithfield.
Bernard had both hits for East Providence. The loss drops the Townies to 11-8 on the season and keeps them in eighth in the Division I RPI standings. EP also closes the regular season Tuesday, hosting Moses Brown.
⚾BASEBALL – Division I
Pilgrim 7, West Warwick 3
The Wizards jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, capitalizing on an error and then extended the lead to 3-0 when Nick Andruchow's sac fly brought home Joseph Riviera.
Then the Patriots went to work.
A single by Sammy Shelton plated Pilgrim's first run, and Anthony DeLuca's sac fly brought home Shelton two batters later. A Jack Cirelli groundball was mishandled to bring in the tying run in the fourth.
Three more runs scored in the fifth thanks to a DeLuca RBI single, a Kyle Rezendes sacrifice bunt and a bases-loaded walk to Michael Mainelli.
On the hill, Rezendes earned the win by striking out five through six innings and allowing three runs (one earned) before giving way to Derrick Butler for one innings of scoreless relief.
For West Warwick, Andruchow and MasonHunt led the team with two hits.
Hendricken 5, Catholic Memorial 3
Mason Marchessault struck out three, allowed two hits and one earned run as the Hawks handled the visiting Catholic Memorial Knights of Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon.
Tied at 2-2 after two innings, Hendricken opened the third with a triple by Edgar Rodriguez, who then scored on a wild pitch. Four batters later, Jude Monti's single to left brought home Braedon Daley to extend the lead to 4-2.
In the sixth, DylanPoloski singled and Parker Boyd scored for the hosts' fifth run of the day.
Boyd, Poliski, Rodriguez and Jamir Liranzo all collected two hits and Greg Fleury closed the game with two scoreless innings of relief to nail down the win.
With the win, first-place Hendricken improves to 16-1 and has one last league game, against Westerly on Tuesday, to close the regular season.
⚾BASEBALL – Division II
North Providence 10, St. Raphael 0
Kris Pacific was in top form in Sunday's sunshine, allowing just four hits and two walks through six shutout innings for the Cougars.
His teammates made sure he wouldn't be throwing with much pressure, either, as North Providence staked him to a 4-0 lead after two innings and kept adding on. Anthony Roman led the way with three hits, two runs scored and an RBI, Jayden Allard had two RBIs and two runs scored, and Gabe Ramirez had a pair of RBIs and one run scored.
The win lifts the Cougars to 13-4, No. 3 in the Division II RPI rankings, with one game left.
For the Saints, Anthony Nolette, CJ Smith, Jaiden Roasrio and Mike Cute each collected a hit in the loss.
🥎SOFTBALL – Division I

South Kingstown 7, NP 1
Julianna Johnson paced the Rebels with two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored, Tessa OSullivan collected a pair of hits, scored once and drove in another and Jillian Kavanagh had a hit, RBI and run scored in Sunday's early matchup.
Erica Kostarides threw seven strong innings, with four strikeouts and one run allowed to earn the win. At the plate, she scored twice to help her own cause.
North Providence scored its lone run in the sixth when Olivia Geib-Ayala doubled home Makenna Heon. Mariana Xavier led Cougars with two hits in the loss.
The Rebels improved to 6-9 with two games to go and the Cougars slip to 10-8 with a Monday matchup against Barrington.
Portsmouth 18, Woonsocket 2
The Patriots put an end to this one quickly thanks to 13 runs in the third inning as Portsmouth batters took advantage of walks and timely hitting to invoke the mercy rule.
Barbara Rainey was 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored, Evelyn Schmidt scored three runs and drove in two , and Lilly Morgado and Mary Carlin each drive in a pair and scored twice as part of Portsmouth offensive barrage.
In the circle, Sophie Ryter struck out two and allowed one hit – to Woonsocket's Emily Orlando – and one earned run through three innings to notch the victory.
