While Smithfield put up some runs on Wednesday, the same can't be said for Portsmouth. The Sentinels came out on top against the Patriots by a score of 3-0. That's more bragging rights for the Sentinels, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Not much got past Domenic Lombardi, who gave up just four hits to keep Portsmouth off the board. Lombardi has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.

At the plate, Smithfield saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Luke Dwyer, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one double. Sam Cicchitelli was another, going 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Smithfield's win ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 7-5. As for Portsmouth, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Smithfield will venture away from home to take on South Kingstown at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Rebels' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Sentinels' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
