⚾BASEBALL – Division I

Cranston West's Elan Santana, shown in action from earlier this season, had himself a day in the Falcons' win over Cumberland on Friday.

Cranston West 7, Cumberland 2

The Falcons scored twice in the first inning, and liked it so much, they did the same thing in the second and third to outdistance the visiting Clippers and provided Nick DiLorenzo with all the offense he'd need to earn the win.

Elan Santana led the hit parade, going 3-for-3 with three runs scored and pair of RBIs. Christopher Barboza drove in two, as well, and D Milano drove in another.

On the mound, DiLorenzo struck out six and allowed one earned run, while scattering nine hits in a complete-game effort.

Four Cumberland batters notched a pair of hits – Chase Austin, Ryan Harris, Micah Cousineau and Nathan Goodrich, but bringing them in was another matter entirely.

Paxton Chenevert took the loss after fanning seven through five innings.

South Kingstown 2, Smithfield 1

There wasn't much separation between the Rebels and Sentinels in Friday afternoon's game at at Old Mountain Field.

The score was 1-0 in favor of Smithfield by the time the sixth inning arrived – the result of a wild pitch that brought home Jacob Sylvester back in the third.

Luke Palmieri reached on a bunt single with one out in the home half of the sixth. Two batters later, Nick Vellone doubled to left to plate Palmieri to even the score. Brayden Rosen followed with a double of his own to bring home Vellone and give SK the lead.

Jackson Reilly came on in relief of SK starter Cole Rosen (six strikeouts, four hits over six innings) and nailed down the win, with the final out coming by snuffing out a stolen-base attempt.

Vellone led the Rebels by going 3-for-3 with an RBI and run scored.

Smithfield's Wyatt Speakman was 2-for-3 in the loss and starting pitcher Jackson Chamberlin suffered the hard-luck loss after striking out seven over six innings.

The Knights put up four runs in the third and added another in the fifth, but the Saints were just warming up.

In the fifth, a sac fly and a triple brought home three runs for the Saints and, in the sixth, three more runs scored to take the lead, thanks in part by a walk to Onassis Soriano, followed by two errors.

Juanita Sanchez 19, Times2 4

Angel Polanco earned the win in this mercy-rule shortened contest by striking out an impressive 17 batters in just five innings – meaning every out recorded by Juanita Sanchez came via strikeout. (Two third strikes were dropped, and the runners reached base.)

The Cavaliers scored 11 runs in the first inning, taking advantage of some sloppy fielding, walks, and timely hits by Henry Trinidad and Matthew Santos.

Sebastian Affonso led the Cavs in hits, with two, including two runs scored and an RBI; Justin Gonzalez scored four times and drove in a pair, and Dariel Lopez scored twice with two RBIs.

Victor Pizarro paced the Eagles with a pair of RBIs, and lead-off batter John Cruz was 1-for-2 with three runs scored in the loss.

Pilgrim 6, Kent County 0

Gretchen Dombeck dominated in the circle and Skylar Hawes carried the offense in the Patriots’ 6-0 win over Kent County.

Pilgrim got on the board in the fourth on a two-run double by Hawes. The Patriots put up four more in the sixth, sparked by a two-run home run by Hawes, who finished the game 2-for-3 with four RBI and one run.

South Kingstown, which plays in Division II, scored runs in the second and third to take a 2-0 lead, but Prout got it all back and thensome in the fourth. Smith came up with a one-out double that scored two runs to tie the game before Flaherty brought her home with a double and she later scored on an error.

Gardiner made sure the score didn’t change. She took over for starter Lily Sheehan in the fourth and three four no-hit innings, striking out five to pick up the win.

Erica Kostrides was solid in the circle for SK and struck out three batters in the loss.

Coventry 5, St. Raphael 3

Payton Baris broke up a tie ballgame in the sixth inning and Kelsey Knutton finished off a roller-coaster ride of a start in the 5-3 win over the Saints.
