EDITOR'S NOTE: Coaches are reminded to send in game results each weeknight by emailing [email protected] from 6 to10 p.m.
The magic hasn’t run out on the Middletown baseball team yet.
And after Sunday, the Islanders are now one game away from playing for a Division II title.
Riding the momentum of their dramatic walk-off win over Narragansett on Friday, No. 4 Middletown traveled to No. 1 East Greenwich full of confidence and showed it in its play. The Islanders got three runs in the second inning and Cameron Carlisle took care of the rest, beating the Avengers 4-0 and setting up a decision if-game for the Division II Pod 1 championship.
It looked like Middletown’s season was coming to an end Friday, but a dramatic comeback set the stage for a rematch the Islanders desperately wanted.
Middletown went to work early, loading the bases in the second and getting a sacrifice fly from Michael Lisella for a 1-0 lead. A pair of passed balls brought home two more runs and the Islanders were cooking.
It proved to be more than enough for Carlisle, who was one of the heroes in Friday’s win. Carlisle battled some early control issues but got through it and finished strong, throwing all seven innings while giving up three hits and three walks.
Ayaan Modi had a terrific relief outing for No. 1 East Greenwich, throwing four innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts.
Colton Kerrison had two hits in the win for Middletown, which will host East Greenwich on Monday at Gaudet Middle School at 4:30 p.m.

Needing a win to play that afternoon, the Cougars took care of business early and Alex Dieffenbach threw a gem in a 6-1 win over the Chargers.
The game was scheduled for late Saturday until it was eventually rescheduled for Sunday morning, which would allow the winning team to play that afternoon against West Warwick in the Division II Pod 2 Championship.
No. 2 North Providence wanted in that game bad, getting two runs in the first inning and then handing the keys to Dieffenbach. The sophomore dominated and the Cougars responded with four runs in the sixth, giving Dieffenbach room to breathe before he finished off the complete-game effort.
Adrian Gonzalez had the magic touch on the mound and Anthony Burt’s two-run double sparked the Wizards’ offense in an 8-1 win over the Cougars, earning their spot in the Division II Championship series.
No. 2 West Warwick was well-rested as it welcomed No. 3 North Providence to McCarthy Field for its second game of the day. The Wizards found runs fast, getting a two-run double from Burt as part of a three-run third before added two more in the fifth and three in the sixth.
Gonzalez was certainly appreciative of the help, but he didn’t need it. The sophomore spread out six hits and two walks over six innings of work, giving up one unearned run and finishing with six strikeouts.
Nick Andruchow had a day at the dish, going 3-for-3 with two RBI for West Warwick. Burt finished with three RBI and Mason Hunt had two RBI. Luke Gallo scored two runs in the win.
The Wizards move on to the Division II Championship Series and will head to Rhode Island College later this week and play the winner of Monday’s game between No. 1 East Greenwich and No. 4 Middletown.
Patrick Munger threw a no-hitter as the Villa Novans cruised to a 9-0 win over the Purple and a chance to win another D-III title.
Woonsocket dominated last season, won the D-III title and with the same team coming back – and no interest in trying to move up to challenge itself in D-II – has done the same in 2026, with Sunday being the latest example.
Munger lost a chance at a perfect game when he walked the second batter of the game and didn’t allow another to reach until an error in the seventh inning. The senior finished the game with 16 strikeouts.
The Villa Novans scored eight runs in the first two innings, but couldn’t get the 10-run rule into play. Braylon Guilbeault had a day, going 2-for-3 with three runs. Cesar Vazquez was 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run and Joe Greenless and Jullian DeJesus both had two hits with two runs and one RBI.
Woonsocket will head to the Division III Championship Series at Rhode Island College and will play the winner of Monday’s game between No. 7 BVPCF and No. 2 Exeter-West Greenwich.
Tyler Medeiros wouldn’t let the second-ranked Knights go home early in this nail-biting, 7-6, victory over No. 7 Blackstone Valley Prep/Central Falls.
The senior smacked a go-ahead triple in the seventh inning and then scored on a passed ball to put the visitors up a pair. BVP didn’t go away quietly as it started the home half with a pair of singles and an error to load the bases.
Alex Torres then worked a five-pitch walk to score Sidney Lockhart. That’s as close as BVP got to a championship berth, though, as EWG’s JJ Langlais closed the door. Langlais struck out BVP for the second out of the inning and then induced a game-ending pop out to third.
Medeiros, who went 3-for-4, also pitched five innings while allowing two earned runs on five hits with five strikeouts and five walks. EWG staved off the elimination in Pod 2 with the victory and now host BVP at Wawaloam Field on Monday at 5 p.m.
EWG, trailing 3-2 after five innings, took the lead with a three-run sixth inning. Medeiros started the sequence with a double and then Tyler Main, a freshman, delivered a go-ahead two-run home run to right field. Dylan Main supplied the next RBI with a double to left that scored Langlais.
BVP tied the game in the home half with a hit-by-pitch, two singles, an error and a walk.
No. 1 Woonsocket awaits the winner of Monday’s Pod Championship.
Bill Koch's story on the top-seeded Rams' win over the second-seeded Chargers can be found here.
The Skippers got going early and had one more big inning left in them to pull off a 10-6 win over the Falcons.
North Kingstown, the No. 4 seed in the D-I tourney, got four RBI singles in a five-batter stretch in the first inning to jump out ahead to a 4-0 lead before No. 3 Cranston West could grab a bat. Up 5-1 heading to the fifth, the Skippers put the game away with five runs.
Ella Mezzanotte was at the center of all of it for the Skippers, finishing her day 4-for-5 with two RBI and one run. Adelyn Barnes was equally impressive, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and one run. Rosemarie Hayward drove in three runs and Riley McHale added two RBI. Mia D’Andrea scored twice in the win for NK, which moves on to the losers’ bracket semifinal and will host No. 9 Prout Monday at 4:15 p.m.
Nicole Silvestri gave it all she had in her final game for Cranston West, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run. Mia Baffoni finished 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run and Alexa Okolowitcz was 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run in the season-ending loss.
The Crusaders turned a pitchers’ duel into a comfortable win, plating five runs in the fifth that helped them cruise home to a 6-3 upset over the Bulldogs.
No. 9 Prout got off to a quick start with Sara Slitt’s RBI single in the first inning, but the game remained 1-0 heading to the fifth. The Crusaders’ bats came alive there, as a Kelsea Flaherty two-run double got things going before Caroline Smith’s two-out, bases clearing double made it 6-0.
The Bulldogs – who had a comeback win over Cranston West in the winners’ bracket – managed to cut the deficit in half, but Megan Gardiner locked in and made sure to close out the win for the Crusaders.
Flaherty finished the game going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run and Smith’s three RBI were good for the team best. Six different players scored runs in the win. Gardiner was solid in the circle, spreading out nine hits over her seven innings of work and finishing with five strikeouts.
Frankie Arnold was the highlight for Westerly, going 2-for-3 with a home run in the season-ending loss.
Prout will try to pull off another upset on Monday when it travels to play No. 4 North Kingstown at 4:15 p.m.

Mia Ruggieri threw a five-hit shutout and the Patriots were persistent with the bats in a 4-0 win over the Avengers.
Ruggieri gave up a single to start the game and then took her game to another level. The senior ace dominated for the remainder of the game and finished allowing five hits with one walk while striking out 13.
No. 3 Portsmouth got all the offense it needed in the third inning when Josephine Rainey led off with a single and then scored on a double by Lillyan Morgado. The Patriots scored runs in each of the next three innings as Ruggieri continued to shut down No. 5 East Greenwich.
Rainey led the way for Portsmouth, going 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run. Emily Bronson had tow hits and one RBI and Morgado finished with one RBI and one run as well. The Patriots advance to the losers’ bracket semifinal and will host No. 7 Ponaganset Monday at 3:30 p.m.
Sarah Levy had one of the five hits in her final appearance for East Greenwich.
Cora Miller capped a big day at the plate with the biggest swing of her life, belting a 2-run home run in the seventh inning that gave the Chieftains an 8-6 win over Kent County.
The teams took turns trading the lead. Kent County scored two run sin the first inning, Ponaganset tied it in the third only to see Kent County score two more. The Chieftains added a run in the fourth, then took a 5-4 lead in the fifth, but Kent County tied it in the bottom half before the teams traded runs in the sixth.
With one runner on and one out, Miller stepped up looking to do damage and did so with a bomb to left field. Mattea Mello made sure the lead stuck, getting a strikeout and a double play to end the game and keep Ponaganset’s season going strong.
Miller was a monster, going 4-for-5 with three RBI and one run. Claire Barrett finished 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run and Mia Duncan and Cali LaMountain both finished 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.
Abigail O’Connor finished 3-for-3 with two RBI in her final appearance for Kent County, while fellow Toll Gate senior Reagan Motta was 2-for-4 with one run. Sophia Moreira, also from the Toll Gate portion of the co-op, finished 2-for-4 with one RBI in the season-ending loss.
The Tigers led the Vikings 6-5 in the third inning when the game was postponed because of rain. It will be finished at a date and time to be determined.
Two errors led to two insurance runs for the Islanders that proved to be valuable as they held off a late rally to beat the Thunderbolts, 11-10.
Both offensive dominated and continue to hit throughout the afternoon. No. 7 Middletown led 3-0 after two innings before No. 4 Cranston East battled to tie it up at 3. The Islanders took a 5-4 lead after the fifth, but piled on four runs and held the Thunderbolts to two to go up 9-6.
In the seventh, Skyler Vilardo led off with a single, moved up on a wild pitch and scored on an error on a ball hit by Evangeline Gross. An error on a ball hit by Charlotte Miller turned into a run when the ball was then thrown away, putting Middletown ahead 11-6.
The five-run lead seemed safe, but things got tight late. Cranston East loaded the bases and got runs on a hit by pitch and a walk, followed by an RBI single from Angelina Saing that made it 11-0. A passed ball brought home another run, but Riley Sexton limited the damage there and got a fly ball to center field to end the game.
Gross was terrific for Middletown, going 4-for-5 with three runs. Abigail Poorman was 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run and Delaney King finished 2-for-4 with two RBI. The Islanders advance to the losers’ bracket semifinal and will travel to play No. 3 Exeter-West Greenwich on Monday

No. 1 Warwick vs. No. 3 Providence Country Day, ppd.
Henry Kenyon put on a show and the Bulldogs bounced back after losing out on a sweep to close strong in the 25-12, 25-18, 24-26, 25-14 win over the Knights.
No. 2 Westerly wasn’t messing around and set the hot hand early and often with Kenyon, who finished the match with 20 kills to go with two blocks. Grady Auth was a maestro running the offense and finished with 30 assists and nine kills. Nate Paciga also filled up the stat sheet, getting nine kills, five blocks, three aces and three assists in the win.
Sixth-seeded Central hung tough but couldn’t overcome its tough start. Pablo Valdez was a big swinger for the Knights, finishing with 12 kills. Dewa Putts had 12 digs and three aces in the loss.
