Figueroa’s Big Day Propels East Providence Softball Past Pilgrim

Figueroa collected three hits in four at bats, as East Providence defeated Pilgrim 6-5 on Tuesday at East Providence High School. Figueroa hit a solo home run to left field in the first inning, singled in the second inning, and singled in the sixth inning.

Baseball Loses Tough One To La Salle

Despite outslugging La Salle 6 hits to 1, East Providence lost its third game of the season by a slim 2-0 margin. La Salle benefitted by a couple of miscues in the field to score their two runs. Sophomore JJ Renaud was masterful on the mound giving up one hit and striking out six Ram batters, many in key spots of the game. The 10th grader did not issue a walk in a complete game stint.

The Townies hit the ball hard all through the game but many were right at players. Aidan Martins led East Providence with two hits. Gavin Palombo, Jayden Healey, Kyle Desrosiers and Max Correiro each added a hit. But for the Townies, it wasn’t enough to rally back in the game.

East Providence will travel to Moses Brown for their next game on Wednesday at 4:30pm.
