Hendricken's Alex Clemmey pitched against Portsmouth High on Thursday. How'd he do?
The Rogers High School boys lacrosse team clinched at least a tie for the Division-IV regular-season title as it downed the Cranston East/Johnston/North Providence co-op squad 22-3 on Friday at Braga Park.
Dylan Walker scored five goals and had three assists and Jack Mathews tallied four goals and assisted on another as the Vikings remained unbeaten at 12-0 with two regular-season games left.
In a Newport County baseball clash, Middletown defeated Tiverton 7-2 for its fourth consecutive Division-II triumph. The Islanders, who got two hits each from Jacob Mello and Julien Delacruz, used a pair of three-run innings to subdue the Tigers.
Connor Hole-Young and David Rivera, Rogers boys lacrosse
Seven different players scored goals as Rogers defeated the Cranston East/Johnston/North Providence co-op squad 22-3 on Friday at Braga Park to clinch at least a tie for the Division-IV regular-season championship.
The Vikings (12-0) play Lincoln (10-2) and Tiverton (9-3) in their final two regular-season games and a win over one of those teams will give Rogers the outright championship. If Lincoln wins its last two games and Rogers loses both, the teams will share the crown. Hole-Young scored five goals and Rivera netted three goals and assisted on three others in Friday’s victory.
Evan Agren and Jacob Mello, Middletown baseball

Mello was in the middle of three scoring rallies for the Islanders as he finished with two hits and two runs on the day. The Islanders climbed to 9-6 in Division-II.
