The Scituate Spartans are taking a road trip to take on the North Providence Cougars at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. North Providence took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Scituate, who comes in off a win.
Scituate came out on top against Burrillville on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run first inning. The Spartans walked away with an 8-3 win over the Broncos. Eight seems to be a good number for the Spartans as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Isabella Defusco spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.
