Johnston was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Chariho apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played last Tuesday.

At the plate, Steven Finegan and Armani Arias stepped up to the plate in a big way. Finegan scored two runs while going 2-for-3, while Arias went 2-for-3 with three RBI.
