Patriots win one, lose one in softball playoffs

Portsmouth still alive in losers’ bracket

Posted

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth High softball team had an easy time with South Kingstown in a Division II preliminary game at home on Sunday, winning 12-1.

The No. 7-seeded Patriots ended the game against the 10th-seeded Rebels early with an RBI base hit by Tatum Brennan, which activated the mercy rule. Mia Ruggieri was the winning pitcher for Portsmouth.

Things were decidedly more difficult in the quarterfinals against the No. 2-seeded West Warwick team, however. The Wizards, enjoying home field advantage, flashed their offense in the 10-1 victory.

The Patriots aren’t through yet, however. They’ll next play in the losers’ bracket, but an opponent, a date, or a place hadn’t been determined as of press time.
