Coventry

After the West Warwick Connie Mack team opportunistically tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Warwick PAL scored two runs in the top of the eighth inning courtesy of a double by Zack Scotti.

WWCM, who outhit PAL, 10-4, was led by Caden Denton (2/4, two runs scored), Brendan Griffine (2/3, one run), Zack Lawrence (2/4, one rbi), Anthony Burt (2/4), Dylan Provoyeur (1/2) and Leyton Belanger (1/2, 1 run scored)

Scotti led Warwick with two hits and three rbi’s.

Led by the pitching of Cateno, Slocum defeated Westerly, 3-2. Travis Collins allowed just three scattered hits for the Bulldogs.

In a classic pitcher’s duel, Chariho edged West Warwick, 1-0, in the league opener for both teams.

Chariho’s Leo Emery (1/2, one rbi) and Darren Clarke (1/2) led the team in hitting.

While West Warwick’s Anthony Burt limited Chariho to just one run on three hits through five innings, the green and white used a quartet of pitchers to shutout WWCM. Andrew Smith (4 strikeouts in two innings) and Ethan Gordon (one strikeout in two innings) kept the black and orange scoreless through four innings. Adam Carpenter, the Division II Cy Young Award winner picked up the win with four strikeouts in the fifth and sixth inning. Jack Stevens picked up the save by striking out the side in the seventh inning.

Offensively, WWCM, who actually outhit Chariho, 4-3, received hits from Brendan Griffin, Nate Hunt, Anthony Burt and Joe Riviera.

The two-time defending champions downed Scituate, 4-2, in extra innings.

Last week, Coventry and East Greenwich played an outstanding game with EG grabbing an early four-run lead in the top of the second inning.

Coventry, who tied the game in the bottom of the second, continued to bash the ball and ended up winning the game 8-4.

Coventry pitcher Brayden Deprete (pictured) threw a complete game allowing only three hits with six strikeouts.

Offensively, Coventry was led by team captain Tyler Reall (3/4), Kole Kilduff (2/3), Jake Faiola (2/3) and Griffin Frenze (2/2).
