Softball Recap: Diman RVT comes up short despite Kacie Lynch's strong performance
If Diman RVT was riding high off their 11-4 takedown of Westport last Monday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Diman RVT Bengals lost 9-2 to the Durfee Hilltoppers on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Diman RVT of the 12-8 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2023.
Panthers keep winning
The Johnston softball team picked up a 6-1 win over visiting Narragansett on Tuesday during the team’s Senior Night.

Alexia DiLorenzo went 2-for-4 with an RBI, while Arianna Velasquez, Layla Bryand and Madison Campano also drove in runs.

Not the outing they hoped for
COVENTRY - A perennial nemesis handed the Coventry baseball team a costly defeat on Monday afternoon, one that the Oakers will hope to quickly recover from. Portsmouth, the team responsible for eliminating Coventry from the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, blasted the Oakers by a 12-1 final in their latest encounter, riding a pair of five-run frames en route to the lopsided rout.

Softball Game Preview: Scituate Hits the Road
The Scituate Spartans will head out on the road to challenge the Narragansett Mariners at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Scituate's pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Narragansett's hitters will have their work cut out for them. Scituate is coming in fresh off a high-stakes...
A few takes on another busy week
This past week was quite busy in the local sports scene, and as I do every once in awhile, I am going to chat about a few thoughts I developed in that span. It is hard for me not to do a full-blown playoff preview for our high school teams, but I will hold off another week as most sports still have another week or two in the regular season.
Baseball Game Preview: Smithfield Heads Out
The Smithfield Sentinels are on the road again on Thursday to play the South Kingstown Rebels at 5:00 p.m. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game. Smithfield is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup...
