St. Raphael at East
Providence - Playoffs
Townies Bats Go Silent in 4-0 Loss
After making a terrific comeback
in the second half of the season, the Townies picked a tough
time to go cold. EP managed a bloop single and an
infield hit as Danielle Lotti of the Saints kept the Townies
off balance all day. The Saints scored a run in the
second inning, one in the third on a long homerun from Jen
Tartaglia, and two in the sixth to secure the first round
victory. Kelley Clancy pitched well in relief for EP.
The Townies will lose seven seniors to graduation but a nice
nucleus remains for the 2007 season.

Providence at South Kingstown
Townies Look Sharp Down Rebels 7-1
The East Providence Softball Team
is playing its best softball of the season at the right time
of the year. After a dismal first half of the season
(2-5), EP did an about face and finished 5-2 in the second
half to even their record at 7-7. South Kingstown who
defeated the Townies 3-1 in April, thanks in large part to 5
EP errors, saw a very different opponent on Wednesday.
Casey Gonsalves pitched 6 strong innings allowing only three
hits and an earned run. Michaela Johnson, Beth Barron,
Ali McBride, Cara Constable, and Caity Arico all had two
hits for the Townies. The Townie defense did not
commit an error for only the second time this year.

Townies Honor Seven Seniors in Home Finale
In their final home league game,
EP seniors Cara Constable, Sarah Crevier, Holly Gibeault,
Michaela Johnson, Sandy Levesque and captains Liz Mellen and
Nicole Durand were given a memorable send off by the EP
juniors. Unfortunately, the Westerly Bulldogs didn't
do their part as they defeated the Townies 2-0 in a well
played game. Samantha Shawn stuck out 17 and added a
solo homerun to lift the Bulldogs to their league leading
12th win. Cara Constable, Michaela Johnson, and Kelley
Clancy had the hits for EP who fell to 6 wins and 7 losses
in the league. The Townie defense continued its
stellar play as of late as it did not commit an error in the
game, for only the second time this season. EP will
complete their league schedule at South Kingstown next week.

Townies Qualify for Playoffs With 3-2
Victory
For the eighth year in a row, the
Townie Softball Team qualified for the division one state
playoffs. After trailing 1-0, EP struck for two runs
in the top of the 4th inning. Michaela Johnson walked,
stole second base and scored on Nicole Durand's single to
center. Durand, who took second on an outfield miscue,
was then lifted for pinch runner Danielle Rizzini.
Rizzini later scored on an RBI groundout off the bat of
Sandy Levesque. In the following frame, Michaela
Johnson had a clutch two-out single to centerfield that
plated Beth Barron who had walked with two outs.
Kelley Clancy pitched the final 2 2/3 innings striking out 6
Chargers to preserve the victory for the Townies. The
Townies improved to 6 and 6 on the season.

Canes Slug Townies 5-0
The Warwick Vets Softball Team
showed why they are one game out of first place as they
smacked the Townies around in a 5-0 victory. EP
mustered only three hits against Vets' ace Casey Doyle.
As it stands, the Townies' record is 5 and 6 in league play
and EP needs one more win to qualify for the state playoffs
in division one. EP travels to Chariho on Tuesday.

Townies Rally Late, Overtake Oakers
10-8
The East Providence Softball Team hasn't
been easy on itself all year. The league contest
against the Knotty-Oakers was no different. After
trailing by as much as 8-3, the Townies scored 3 in the
fifth, 3 in the sixth, and 4 in the seventh to notch their
4th league victory against five losses. Kelley Clancy,
who replaced Casey Gonsalves in the 3rd inning, earned her
first varsity win. Clancy allowed one earned run on
three hits while striking out six in her 4 innings of
relief. The Townies who mustered only five hits on the
day, got two huge blows from seniors Sandy Levesque and Liz
Mellen. In the 6th, Levesque drove a two-run double
over the outfielder's head in left and Mellen added a clutch
two-run single in the 7th inning.

Rebels Take Advantage of Townie
Miscues in 3-1 Win
The Townie Softball Team made an error in
each of the first two frames giving the Rebels a 2-0 lead
that they would never relinquish. EP came within a run
in the third inning when Michaela Johnson singled sharply to
center scoring Beth Barron with two outs. However, the
Rebels added an insurance run in the 5th providing Laura
Nigro, the Rebel senior pitcher, all the run support she
would need. Liz Mellen and Michaela Johnson both
played excellent defense for the Townies who dropped to 2-5
in the league.

Townies Play Bulldogs
Tough; Lose 4-0
The Townies matched the
undefeated Westerly Bulldogs play for play for four innings
but fell victim to their Achilles heel, errors in the fifth
and sixth innings. Behind sophomore Kelley Clancy's
pitching, the Townies were putting up zeroes defensively,
and had the better chances to score early in the game.
However, Westerly loaded the bases on walks and scored two
unearned runs in the fifth and two more unearned runs in the
sixth to seal their sixth straight victory. Alison
McBride had the lone hit for the Townies who fell to 2-4 on
the season.

Error Prone Townies Fall
to Chariho
The East Providence Softball
Team committed 5 errors allowing 3 unearned runs in a losing
effort to Chariho. After Julia Stoner drilled a solo
homerun to put the Chargers on top in the top of the fourth
inning, EP evened the score as Julanne DeWillis raced home
on a wild pitch in the bottom of the frame. However,
EP's two errors in the fifth and two more in the sixth
sealed their fate as Chariho scored three unearned runs en
route to their second victory of the season. Cara
Constable drilled an RBI triple in the sixth to cap the rest
of the scoring. Alison McBride had the other hit for
EP. The Townies are now 2-3 on the year.

3-Hitter
The East Providence Softball Team got a huge boost from
junior pitcher Casey Gonsalves as she recorded a 3-hit, 8
strikeout shutout of Pilgrim. The victory gets EP back
to an even 2-2 record. The Townie offense got an early
spark from Cara Constable and Sandy Levesque who hit back to
back homeruns in the top of the second inning. Nicole
Durand and sophomore Caity Arico also had 3 hits to lead the
15 hit attack. Beth Barron and Michaela Johnson
chipped in with two hits each. Arico who threw two
runners out at first base from right field as well as Liz
Mellen and Levesque turned in excellent defensive
performances for EP.
