PROVIDENCE — Bishop Hendricken now sits one victory from another state baseball ****** le.
And if Thursday afternoon is any indication, East Providence has a serious task on its hands to deny the Hawks from walking away with the trophy at Rhode Island College.
The Townies were the lone Rhode Island team to defeat Bishop Hendricken during the regular season, but the tables were turned to start this best-of-three Division I championship series. Steve Maynard escaped an early jam and his offense backed him to the tune of a 10-0 victory via the mercy rule in just five innings.
Brett Knight’s two-run single to center in the bottom of the fifth capped a six-run frame and was the last in an 11-hit attack against East Providence left-hander Ben Hallene. Parker Boyd started the fire with a two-run triple to deep center in the third and it was all Hawks from there under warm sunshine.
“We knew from our reports that he threw a lot of off-speed, a lot of curveballs,” Boyd said. “All week we worked on the off-speed on the machines.”
