East Providence vs. Hendricken at 4 PM at Hendie in Thursday clash.
The Townies shut out a scrappy Westerly High School, 5-0 behind a dominating pitching performance from Dylan Annicelli on Wednesday in Westerly. Annicelli dazzled Westerly hitters with a stinging array of fastballs and timely changeups. He had a no-hitter going into the sixth inning and only gave up one other hit in the seventh. Along the way, Annicelli struck out 13 batters and finished with one of the sharpest performances on the mound for EP this season for the complete game win.
Freshman Chris Charbonneau, getting his second start this year, continues to impress. In the top of the 2nd, Tyler Dicecco led off with a walk and Kyle Desrosiers reached on a fielder’s choice, Colin Roche was hit by a pitch. Charbonneau then lined a hard single to left field which scored Desrosiers for the Townies first run. With two outs, Aidan Martins doubled to deep left field scoring both Roche and Charbonneau. Gavin Palombo then lined to right for one of his three hits on the day, scoring Martins.
Annicelli and East Providence never looked back, taking the 5-0 shutout for the win. Martins had two RBI from his leadoff spot in the lineup. Palombo went 3 for 4 to lead the Townie hit parade. EP continued their run of good defense with no errors.
“Dylan was sharp as ever and we had great hitting all around,” said head coach Bobby Rodericks after the game. “Even theour outs were hard line drives.”
East Providence will travel to Bishop Hendricken on Thursday to take on the perennial statewide favorite Hawks. The game will be played at 4:00 PM.
