NARRAGANSETT — Give the early psychological edge to Narragansett in what could be the first of several Division II baseball meetings with Chariho this spring. Both programs look bound for the playoffs through the opening weeks of the season , and it was the Mariners making an opening statement on a beautiful Thursday afternoon at Sprague Park. Aidan Clancey earned the win on the mound, Finley Hohl cleaned up the last two innings for the save and Vito Paglia produced a couple of clutch swings at the plate.
It was a collective effort to push Narragansett past the Chargers, a 5-3 triumph on April 15 under spring sunshine. Clancey covered the first five innings and left seven runners stranded on base — all but one of those in scoring position. Hohl allowed the tying run to come to the plate with one out in the top of the seventh before slamming the door.
Paglia sent a pair of run-scoring singles back up the middle to help the Mariners make the most of their offensive chances at the plate. View this post on Instagram “We’ve got a good chemistry here,” Paglia said. “It definitely feels like a team.
