LaSalle at East
Providence
Rams Upset Townies
4-0; EP Out of Playoffs
For the second
straight playoff game, the Townie bats proved to be their
Achilles heel as only Jillian Berg ( 2 hits and BB) and
Nicole Durand (single) were able to put hits on the board.
After six scoreless innings, LaSalle scored four in the top
of the 7th off tough luck loser Amanda Shattuck. In the
seventh, a single surrounded by a hit batsman and three EP
errors caused the four run deficit, a number that the anemic
EP hitting could not overcome. East Providence finished the
season with a 14-6 record. Jillian Berg completed her
senior year with the third highest batting average in Townie
history at .442.

East Providence
Cougars Send Townies
To Loser's Bracket
As has been the
case for the past three weeks, the Townie bats were silent
as North Providence defeated EP in the second round of the
playoffs 3-1. The Cougars got the most out of their three
hits as they hit back to back singles in the top of the
third inning to take a 3-0 lead that they would not
relinquish. East Providence put runners on second and third
with one out and down 3-1 in the fifth inning but could not
push across another run. Jill Berg, who carried the offense
all year, had the lone hit for the Townies. For some
inexplicable reason, EP played lethargically for the first
four innings digging themselves a hole that they could not
climb out of. EP, the third seed plays LaSalle the eighth
seed, in the loser's bracket on Saturday.

North Kingstown at
East Providence
Skippers Outlast
Townies 1-0 in Eight Innings
On Senior Day in
front of a good size crowd, the Townies played their hearts
out but came up short in the end to an excellent North
Kingstown team 1-0 in 8 innings. Freshman Michaela Johnson
started in place of the ill Amanda Shattuck for the second
straight game and frustrated the Skipper hitters all day.
The Townie defense led by Marissa Savastano, Ali Birkes, and
Nicole Durand was once again superb making big play after
big play. EP left a runner on third base four times during
the game as did the Skippers. Maggie Feix showed why she is
one of the top pitchers' in the state as she struck out 10
Townies and three of them in crucial situations. Both EP
and NK finished with records of 13-3 and will find out their
seedings on Saturday. Offensively, Danielle Normand stung
the ball three times for the Townies ending her day 1 for
3. EP will host a playoff game at Pierce Field tentatively
set for June 4th, and has finished a top four seed in the
state for the fourth time in 5 years.

Johnson, Nestell,
Normand Get Townies Back On Track
Freshman Michaela
Johnson made her first varsity start on the mound a
memorable one as she allowed two runs on five hits en route
to her first win. Backed by hitting from Jocelyn Nestell,
who returned from her second knee surgery in as many
seasons, Danielle Normand, and Molly Hawksley, the Townies
returned to their winning ways. Nestell went 2-2 with a
double and 2 RBI while Normand was 2-3 with a double and 2
RBI. Hawksley added a 3-run triple as the Townies sent 10
runs across the plate. Marissa Savastano made a number of
dazzling defensive plays at shortstop for the Townies,
getting them out of a few jams. The Townies can claim their
second division title in three years with a win over NK on
Thursday.

Townies Out Of First Place
Erin Fuoroli
allowed a leadoff walk to Marissa Savastano to start the
game and then was perfect for the rest of the closely
matched contest. The Pilgrim ace no-hit the Townies while
grabbing sole possession of first place and into the
driver's seat for the I-South division title. Lyndsay
Cavanaugh had a two out double in the third inning driving
the only run the Patriots would need. Amanda Shattuck was
the hard luck loser allowing 5 hits and two earned runs. EP
dropped its second game of the week as the offense is mired
in a slump. The Townies only have one legitimate hit in
their last two games.

Townies With Mercy Rule
Jill Kiley threw a
two-hitter and struck out eight Townies giving EP their
first loss of the regular season in a convincing fashion.
Chariho had six hits and took advantage of four Townie
errors in the third and fourth innings as they rolled over
the EP. Stacy Celani had a two run homerun for the
Chargers. The mercy rule was used against the Townies for
the first time since records have been kept starting in
1999. EP is now tied for first place with Pilgrim who is
also 12-1.

Berg's Homerun Lifts
Townies Over Westerly
Jillian Berg
continued her torrid hitting as her two-run homerun in the
7th inning erased a 3-1 deficit and sent the game into extra
frames. In the 8th inning, Ali Birkes hit a long two-out
double and after Danielle Normand walked, Amanda Shattuck's
ground ball between the third baseman and shortstop was
misplayed allowing Birkes to score from second base with the
game winning run. Berg also drove in the Townies first run
with a two-out single in the fourth inning. Amanda Shattuck
allowed one earned run and struck out 11 for EP. The
Townies improved to 12-0 in league play, their best start
ever.

Townies Team Effort Downs Oakers
A bunch of Townies had a hand in the convincing win over the
Knotty Oakers at Pierce Field on Monday. Amanda Shattuck
was steady if not excellent again allowing only 2 hits while
striking out 9 batters. Shattuck also hit a bomb to left
producing a two-run double in the Townie fourth. Danielle
Normand went 3-4 at the plate, hitting the ball hard all
four times and freshman Liz Mellen continued swinging a hot
bat as she had two hits including a double, stolen base and
a run scored. Ali Birkes and Ali Huftalen chipped in with
RBI singles as well. Leadoff hitter, Marissa Savastano had
a typical catalyst's day with a hit, 2 BB's, a stolen base
and two runs scored. The Townie defense was solid as usual
with Jill Berg, Normand, Savastano, Birkes and Molly
Hawksley leading the way. EP upped their league record to
10-0.

Providence 8 to 2 but left 11 runners stranded on base.
Marissa Savastano led the Townies with two hits and Laura

striking out seven. EP had six hits with Berg having two.
Laura King, Marissa Savastano, and Shattuck had the other
hits for the Townies. Although making some excellent plays,
the Townie defense uncharacteristically made four errors on
the day. EP's record improved to 9-0 overall and 8-0 in

lackluster Performance- Normand/Shattuck Throw No Hitter!!
It took a while but the Townies
scored 3 runs in the fourth, 2 in the fifth, and 1 in the
sixth to overcome a 1-0 deficit after the first inning.
Molly Hawksley had two hits and 3 RBI while Marissa
Savastano went 1 for 1 with 2 BB's, 1 run and a stolen
base. After South Kingstown jumped out to a 1-0 lead due to
some early jitters from spot starter Danielle Normand,
Amanda Shattuck returned to the mound in the second inning
and held the Rebels hitless to complete EP's second no
hitter. Nicole Durand had her first varsity hit for the
Townies. Overall, it was not the Townies' best effort. A
better effort will be needed when they visit defending state
champion North Kingstown on Wednesday.

Big Win for EP On
Birkes' Big Hit
Ali Birkes hit a two out RBI
single in the bottom of the 8th inning scoring Laura King
with the winning run completing the comeback win for the
Townies. King had two hits in her first varsity start for
EP. Amanda Shattuck and Erin Fuoroli were outstanding on
the mound for their respective teams. Shattuck finished
with 13 strikeouts allowing only 3 hits to Pilgrim's potent
lineup. Both teams showed character as EP took a 1-0 lead
in the bottom of the 6th. However, Pilgrim tied the game in
the 7th and took the lead in the 8th. In the bottom of the
frame Murphie Chappell led off with a walk and pinch runner
Michaela Johnson stole second base. King followed with her
second hit moving Johnson to third. Marissa Savastano lined
out to second and an errant throw to third allowed Johnson
to score and King to move to third. Birkes' hit
followed!! An excellent team win!!

Chariho vs. East Providence
Townies No-Hit and Win?
Two of the best teams in the state
with two of the best pitchers in the state squared off at
Pierce Field for what was expected, a pitcher's duel. In
the bottom of the 7th with two outs, Jill Berg walked, stole
second, moved to third on an infield error and scored on the
ensuing play, another infield error giving the Townies an
exciting 1-0 win. Amanda Shattuck limited the talented
Chargers to two hits while striking out 11 batters.
Shattuck pitched her way out of three difficult jams as
Chariho threatened to score often. Chariho's Jill Kiley was
the hard luck loser as she pitched a no hitter and struck
out 8 Townies. Ali Birkes made the play of the game at
first saving two runs and the victory for EP.

Amanda Shattuck was once again

early as Marissa Savastano (2 hits, SB), Jocelyn Nestell
(2-3, 2B), and Jill Berg (2-3, SB) all led EP to a 3-0 lead
after the first inning. That was all Shattuck would need.
Danielle Normand continued her hot hitting with two hits as
well. Marissa Savastano made a great defensive play in the
first inning for the Townies.

The Townies looked very impressive
in a 10-0 win over BayView. Amanda Shattuck allowed only
one hit, a bloop single in the 5th inning, and struck out
seven Bengals en route to the non-league victory. The
offense was led by Shattuck (two-run homerun), Molly
Hawksley (single, double, RBI), Ali Birkes (two singles, 2

March 28, 2003
East Providence
vs. Pilgrim (scrimmage)
Pilgrim broke open a close
first five innings with a bunch in the sixth. The Townies
continue to give extra outs to good teams. Shoddy defense
and mental errors have plagued EP in the preseason. Jill
Berg had a run scoring, two out hit for the Townies.

East Providence
vs. Classical (scrimmage)
The Townies played a better
all around game compared with their first scrimmage. Amanda
Shattuck and Danielle Normand pitched seven strong innings
and Molly Hawksley paced the offense with two hits.

East Providence
vs. BayView (scrimmage)
The first scrimmage of the
season looked very much what it was, the first
scrimmage of the season. Too many mental errors and a lack
of hitting (10 strikeouts) was all too evident in the first
outing for the Townies. EP looks to improve their effort
against Classical on Wednesday.
