YESTERDAY’S TOP GAME

A single in the bottom of the ninth inning by Jimmy Brewer scored Paul Judice to give the Middletown baseball team a 3-2 victory over Woonsocket in an elimination game of the Division I Region 2 playoffs. Judice walked and then stole second and third to get into position for the winning run.

The Villa Novans scored once in the third and again in the sixth to take a 2-0 lead. Woonsocket pitcher Justin Rainville cruised through the first five innings, holding Middletown scoreless while striking out seven. However, in the sixth, Rainville hit two batters and gave up a single to load the bases. Judice capitalized with a single that scored two runs.

Middletown starter Dean Spaulding went six innings and gave up three hits and two unearned runs. Reliever Matt Williams came on in the seventh and held Woonsocket to two hits the rest of the way to pick up the win.

Moses Brown will face West Warwick at 3:45 p.m. today at RIC.

•The Warwick Vets baseball team came back from a four-run deficit, tying it in the fifth inning before Josh Clift’s RBI single in the sixth scored what proved to be the game-winner in a 7-6 win over Cumberland in the Division I losers’ bracket. Clift was 3-for-3 with two RBI. The Hurricanes’ starting battery of Brad Collins and Ryan Fedo each had two hits.
