Providence has gone 8-2 against Chadwick recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Pioneers will welcome the Dolphins at 3:15 p.m. Providence is coming into the game hot, having won their last three games.
Providence had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Polytechnic on Thursday. The Pioneers blew past the Panthers 18-5. Considering the Pioneers have won four contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs and three RBI.
