The Patriots scored a run in the first inning, and another in the seventh, and that was enough to give them their 10th win in 18 games. Oliver Rey went the distance, pitching a 2-hitter with 11 strikeouts. The only run he allowed was unearned. He also helped his own cause, collecting 3 hits, driving in a run and stealing a base. John Mass singled in the other run. Tucker DeWolf and Bryden Menard had the hits for the 8-11 Quakers.

East Greenwich 7, Middletown 1 (Sat.)

Offensively, Nelson drove in 2 with 2 hits. Alex DeTomasis (2 hits, 2 walks) and Cade Thomas (4 walks) each reached base four times for EG. That duo also combined for a huge inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the 6th when Thomas followed a catch in center field with a bullet to DeTomasis at the plate to throw out an Islander trying to tag up. Evan Levasseur had 2 hits for Middletown.
