🥎GAME OF THE DAY

The Chariho softball team just found out that winning your first state title won’t be an easy task.

Tuesday’s first round game was supposed to be a walk in the park for the second-seeded Chargers, but No. 10 Pilgrim made it anything but. A pitchers duel broke out and Chariho got late-game heroics from Anna Tretton, who hit a two-out single in the seventh to give the Chargers a 2-1 walk-off win over the Patriots.

Chariho went undefeated this spring, winning 20 games relatively drama free. With the best pitcher in the state in Adriana Jeannenot and a lineup that’s produced all season, a first-round win at home seemed to be a lock.

Pilgrim didn’t drive to Wood River Junction intending on rolling over. The Patriots struck first in the top of the third after Lia Wasilewksi opened the inning with a double, moved to third on a  groundout, then scored on a bunt by Abigail Bryson.

Chariho didn’t led the deficit last. The Chargers answered in the bottom half of the third after picking up two walks, then getting an RBI single from Tretton.

The rest of the game – and the entire game – was dominated by Jeannenot and the combination of Pilgrim’s Gretchen Dombeck and Gabriella Santiago.

Tied at 1 going to the bottom of the seventh, Maddie Dorgan drew a two-out walk, stole second, moved to third on a passed back, then scored on Tretton’s single.

Tretton was the offensive star for Chariho with two hits and two RBI. Jeannenot threw seven innings of four-hit ball, striking out four. The Chargers move on to the winners’ bracket semifinal and will play the winner of Wednesday’s game between No. 6 Westerly and No. 3 Cranston West.

Dombeck threw four innings of three-hit ball with one walk and two strikeouts. Santiago threw 2 2/3 innings, giving up two hits and two runs with three walks while striking out five. The Patriots will play the loser of Wednesday’s game between No. 6 Westerly and No. 3 Cranston West.

⚾BASEBALL – D-I Pod 1 First Round

No. 1 Hendricken 11, No. 9 Moses Brown 1

The top-seed Hawks found their offense early, plating three runs in the second inning thanks to a Yadier Blanco triple, Jude Monti getting hit by a pitch and Parker Boyd doubling to right. Hendricken never looked back as they cruised to the next round in Pod 1 play.

Mason Crain collected a pair of hits and RBIs, as did Blanco to pace the Hawks. Dylan Poloski was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and Ryan Pierce also scored a pair of runs in the win.

On the mound, Stephen Maynard earned the complete-game victory (five innings), striking out six, allowing just two hits and one run.

BraydenMenard drove in the Quakers' lone run in the loss.

Hallene finished with a complete game, allowing one earned run on seven hits with six strikeouts to just two walks.

Enright, Renaud and Max Pawlik, forever known now as the unsung heroes, combined for five of East Providence’s eight hits. Enright, along with the winning triple, doubled in the second inning and Pawlik smacked a two-bagger in the sixth.
