🥎Game of the Day
Softball playoffs won’t start for a couple more days, but Lincoln showed it’s more than ready for the postseason.
The Lions knew Ponaganset was better than it records shows and when adversity struck, they managed to strike back. The Chieftains added some drama to an intense pitchers’ duel with a seventh-inning home run that sent the game to extra innings, but Lincoln came through in the eighth as Annika Sampson’s double brought home what proved to be the winning run in the Lions’ 2-1 victory over the Chieftains.
Lincoln got out to a 1-0 lead after Chloe Landry reached on a one-out double, moved to third on an error and scored on another misplayed ball.
The pitchers were stars of the show after that. For the first four innings, Lincoln’s Molly Ganim dueled with Ponaganset’s Mattea Mello. The Lions then handed the ball to Kayleigh Gouchie, who also traded zeroes with Mello.
Lincoln had a no-hitter going through six innings before Claire Barrett ended it with a solo home run to open the bottom of the seventh. Gouchie rebounded to strike out the next three batters, sending the game to extras.
Landry opened the eighth with a single, then showed off her speed scoring on a double by Sampson. Mello made sure no more runs crossed, but Gouchie did the same in the bottom half to close out the win.
Ganim threw four perfect innings with seven strikeouts and Gouchie gave up one hit, one walk and struck out eight in her four innings of work. Landry led the offense going 3-for-3 while scoring the two runs.
Mello was spectacular in defeat, spreading six hits and three walks over eight innings and finishing with 13 strikeouts.
Lincoln finishes the regular season with a 17-1 record and will be the No. 1 seed in the Division II playoffs. Ponaganset is 8-13 on the season and its official seeding isn’t known; school officials hadn’t entered the results of its May 18 game against Scituate into the RIIL standings. The Chieftains were listed as the No. 7 seed, but trailed Barrington by .89 points for sixth.
🎾BOYS TENNIS – Division II Quarterfinals
Narragansett 4, St. Raphael 0
The defending Division II champs started their run for a second straight title with an impressive performance, sweeping the Boondock Saints, 4-0.

The Mariners move on to the semifinals and will take on No. 4 North Smithfield at Sprague Park next week.
North Smithfield 4, Classical 1
The drama was slowly building, but Oliver Drolet made sure it never came to a head, finishing off his match at No. 3 singles to give the Northmen a 4-1 win over the Purple.
North Smithfield, the No. 4 seed, picked up three quick points with wins by the No. 3 doubles team of Ben Cuddy and Alex Sevegney (6-1, 6-0) and the No. 2 team of Chase Nelson and Ben Wallbillich (6-1, 6-1) before Classical’s No. 2 team of Noah Masri and Kai Sobata-Walden grabbed a 6-4, 6-4 win. Bryce Santos soon followed with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 4 to give the Northmen a 3-1 lead.
The Purple were gaining momentum as it looked ready to earn a pont at No. 2 singles and the match at No. 1 leaning toward a third set, but Drolet came to the rescue for the Northmen.
Drolet dropped a tough first set but came back in heroic fashion to force a third with a tiebreaker win in the second. The third set with Classical’s Peter Breen was a playoff classic, but Drolet made more shots to come out with the 4-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4 victory.
North Smithfield moves on to the Division II semifinals and will travel to play defending champ Narragansett next week.
🎾BOYS TENNIS – Division III Quarterfinals
Warwick 4, Coventry 0
The No. 1 seed showed why it earned the honor, as Warwick dominated and picked up an easy 4-0 win over the Oakers in their quarterfinal match.
Warwick went undefeated this spring and wasn’t about to have its first loss come in the first round of the playoffs. Warwick won the first set in all six matches, then had a race to see who would score the four points needed to make things official.
The first two points came nearly at the same time, as No. 2 Cornelius Zmed finished off his 6-0, 6-2 win in the same breath as No. 3 Griffin Weldy’s 6-0, 6-1 win. Not long after, Etienne Degos and Ryan DeSilva finished off their 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 2 doubles for a commanding 3-0 lead.
Warwick was comfortably ahead at Nos. 1 and 4 singles and No. 3 doubles started warming up as the No. 1 team of Christian Mainelli and Alex Marsis clinched the final point.
The win sends Warwick to the semifinal round and it will host the winner of Thursday’s match between No. 5 Cranston East and No. 4 Scituate next week.

🥍BOYS LACROSSE – Division II
Portsmouth 11, Mt. Hope 7
The Patriots trailed late in the second quarter, but Teddy Gersen’s goal gave them momentum going into the locker room and they came out humming in an 11-7 win over the Huskies.
In a matchup of two teams with championship hopes, defending Division II champ Portsmouth was outplayed for most of the first half by Mt. Hope, last year’s D-III runner-up.
Gersen came to the rescue with a goal with one minute left. The Patriots continued to push on offense and led 9-7 after the third quarter, but dominated both sides of the field in the fourth to pull out the win.
It was a big day for Gersen, who led Portsmouth with three goals – including his 100th – and one assist. Oliver Melanson had a hat trick for the Patriots and Rafferty Dionne scored twice and had two assists. Jack Colna had 12 saves in the win for the Patriots, who finish the year at 14-3 and should be the No. 3 seed for the Division II playoffs.
Ben Browne led the way for Mt. Hope with two goals and Aeden Nelson scored one and had one assist. Ethan LaBollita finished with 16 saves in the loss, which drops the Huskies to 15-3 on the season but keeps them in the No. 1 spot for the Division III playoffs.
Westerly 10, Chariho 1
Needing a win to have a chance at the No. 1 seed in the Division II playoffs, the Bulldogs took care of business early and pulled out a 10-1 win in a weather-shortened game.
Westerly wasted little time taking control against its regional rival, getting two goals from Caleb Williams, two from Ian Morissette and one from Evan Morisette to take a 5-0 lead after the first quarter. The Bulldogs scored the first five of the second quarter before Morgan Campbell got Chariho on the board to make it 10-1 at halftime.
During the break a storm rolled through and lightning caused the game to be called at halftime. Westerly finishes the season with a 14-3 record and is tied for first in the RPI standings with East Greenwich, which closes its season on Thursday against Hendricken. Playing a Division I opponent should give the Avengers the necessary points to earn the top spot, regardless of outcome.
Chariho finishes the season with a 1-17 record.
