Cumberland dropped their record down to 17-5 on Thursday, which also ended the team's ten-game streak of wins. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the South Kingstown Rebels. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Rebels this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 4-3 back in April.

Liam Monahan was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off nine hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (one).

On the hitting side, Cumberland saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Josh Lyon, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.

As for South Kingstown, they pushed their record up to 18-5 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. That's two games straight that they have won by exactly three runs.

On South Kingstown's side, Quinn Matos spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits. Matos has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Michael DiGioia, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

As of now, neither Cumberland nor South Kingstown have any future games scheduled.
