Scituate had lost seven straight at home dating back to last season, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 3-10 to make it eight. They fell 6-2 to the North Providence Cougars. Having soared to a lofty 13 runs in the game before, the Spartans couldn't push the score so high this time.
Isabella Rotondo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits.
On the hitting side, Sophia Maggiacomo was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.
As for North Providence, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games.
On North Providence's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Olivia Geib-Ayala gave up only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Makenna Heon, who went 2-for-3 with five stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in May of 2025. Another player making a difference was Maddie Clayton, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Scituate will face off against North Kingstown at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Spartans' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Skippers have averaged an impressive 8.3 runs per game this season. As for North Providence, they will venture away from home to face off against Davies Career & Tech at 3:15 p.m. on Friday. The Patriots have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.88 runs per game on average), something the Cougars will no doubt try to take advantage of.
