News and Announcements

     Led by the pitching of senior Richard Lizotte, the Wizards defeated the Chargers of Chariho, 3-2, to even their Division I-South record at 2-2.

     Lizotte, who threw 64 of 91 pitches for strikes, allowed only one earned run on four hits while striking out 12 in seven innings of work.

     Down 1-0, the Wizards tied the game in the top of the third inning when Derek Hebert broke out of a season long hitting slump with a lead off double to right center.  Jeff Sampaio, then, laid down  a bunt toward the third base line.  As Charger pitcher Dave Northup tried to throw out Sampaio, the throw which Sampaio beat easily got by the second baseman who was late covering scoring Hebert.  Two outs later, Charley Parent walked and pinch runner Dominic Bisceglio stole second, putting runners at second and third base.  The Wizards, however, could not get a timely hit as Northup induced a pop out to second base to end the inning.

     In the top of the fifth inning, the Wizards scored two runs to take a 3-1 lead.  With one out, Sampaio reached first on a wild pitch after striking out.  After Sampaio stole second base, senior Aaron Richards hit a r.b.i. double to left center.  Richards moved to third base one pitch later on a wild pitch and scored when Tim Parente hit a sacrifice fly to left field. 

     In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Chargers scored one run when Taylor Hackley singled, moved to second on an error, and scored with two out on Frank Glawser double. 

     The Chargers, however, would not reach base safely for the remainder of the game.  Richard Lizotte not only retired the last seven batters of the game, but struck out the side in the bottom of the seventh to enable the Wizards to pick up their second league road win of the year.

 

     In a non league slugfest against the Chargers of Chariho, Deering's late game comeback fell short in a 12-9 loss.  
     Defensively, Deering, which banged out ten hits, committed seven errors allowing Chariho to score 12 runs. 
     Offensively, Deering, which scored seven runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to cut Chariho's lead to 11-9, received contributions from Troy Lavoie (one double, two walks, and two runs scored, Drew Doran (one r.b.i.), Matt Masse (two singles and one run scored), Tony Correia (one single), Rich Grenier (two walks), Chris Stafford (two run double), Antonio Rei (three singles and one run scored), Jeff Cyr (one double and one run scored), Anthony Indeglia (one walk and one run scored), Jon Skurka (one walk, one run scored, and one r.b.i.), Evan Barrera (single, walk, one run scored, and one r.b.i.), and Ray Zincone (one single, one run scored, and one r.b.i.).
     Rich Grenier, who allowed only one free pass to the 14 batters he faced,  allowed two earned runs on four hits in two innings of work.  Evan Barrera allowed only one run and one hit in two innings of work and Drew Doran allowed only one unearned run on two hits in two innings of work. 
     In a non league game against Davisville, the Junior Wizards of Deering lost 5-3. 
     Although Deering out hit Davisville, 6-4, they could not manage the timely hit often enough.   
     Offensively, Deering received contributions from Ryan O'Kelly (single, double, and one run scored), Matt Masse (two singles and one r.b.i.), Tony Correia (one single), Evan Barrera (one single and one run scored), Anthony Indeglia (one run scored and one walk), Rich Grenier (one walk), Rich McNeil (one walk), and Chris Stafford (one single and two r.b.i.'s).
     Deering received solid pitching from several players.  Kyle Beck allowed on earned run on two hits while striking out two in the first two innings.  Ryan O'Kelly allowed only one run while striking out two batters in two innings of work.  Matt Masse allowed only one earned run on one hit in one inning of relief.  Tony Correia struck out two in one inning of work and Ray Zincone allowed only one hit in one inning of work.

JV Baseball: WWJV wins league opener, 5-1!

Posted by Richard Grenier at Apr 10, 2009 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

     Led by the pitching of juniors Amine Malki and Kurtis Melvin, the Wizards JV won their league opener, 5-1, over the Mariners of Narragansett.  The junior tandem, who recorded 16 strikeouts, simply overpowered the freshman & sophomore line up of the Mariners. 

    Malki, who threw 42 of his 63 pitches for strikes, struck out nine, walked two, and allowed no hits in four innings of work.   Melvin, who worked the final three innings, struck out seven and allowed only three hits. 

     In the bottom of the first inning, Domenic Bisceg led off with a single, stole second base, and scored on a triple by Garrett DeBlois.  Deblois, later scored on Matt Grosso's r.b.i. single for a 2-0 lead.

     In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Wizards added on two more runs.  After Kurtis Melvin and Jim Thornton both singled, Nate Lacroix followed with an infield grounder which was misplayed allowing Melvin to score.  Chris Viveiros followed with a single moving Thornton to third.  Thornton, then, scored on Cam Genest's r.b.i. groundout. 

     In the fifth inning, Matt Grosso singled with two outs, moved to second on an error, and scored on Thornton's second hit of the game. 

     Offensively, the Wizards received hits from Dom Bisceglio (2/3, one double), Max Motroni (1/3), GarrettDeBlois (2/3, one triple, 1 r.b.i.), Matt Grosso (2/3, 1 r.b.i.), Kurtis Melvin (1/3), Jim Thornton (2/3, 1 r.b.i.), and Chris Viveiros (1/3).

     Defensively, the Wizards received a solid game from catcher Nick Carney (two foul pop-ups).  Also, the Wizards received a great play from first baseman, Brent Reed, who threw a strike to third baseman, Nate Grandchamp to cut down a runner.
