St. Raphael had Izzy Sousa and Westerly had Frankie Arnold and the two flamethrowers put on a show. The Saints were able to scrap up two runs and that proved to be enough in a 2-1 win over the Bulldogs in a playoff-caliber game at Cimalore Field on Thursday evening.
Coming into the game, St. Raphael was seeded sixth in the Division I RPI, fractions of points behind fifth-place Westerly, and both teams were within earshot of fourth-place Cranston West. The teamsâ needed a big performance from their biggest stars â and both got just that.

The Bulldogs were gifted a run when Sousa walked Arnold with two outs and the bases loaded, making it 2-1, before ending the inning with a strikeout.
Sousa didnât make another mistake the rest of the afternoon. The senior All-Stater threw a complete game, giving up three hits with four walks and finishing with nine strikeouts.
Arnold was equally impressive, throwing all seven innings while giving up four hits, one walk and striking out nine.
With the win, St. Raphael improved to 10-3 overall and should jump Westerly in the RPI standings once theyâre updated. The Saints are off until Monday when they travel to play Cranston West.
The loss ends a five-game win streak for Westerly, which is now 9-3 and should slide to sixth in the RPI. The Bulld
