The spring season came to an end for the Toll Gate and Pilgrim softball teams as they each dropped deciding games in their respective losers brackets.

Toll Gate hosted Portsmouth last Thursday at Winslow Park and the Patriots pulled off the 6-5 comeback win to advance in the Division II postseason.

Toll Gate took a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning when Delaney Wilson, Abby O’Connor and Aria Eddy drove in runs. Portsmouth went on to score four in the third inning to take the lead, and the two clubs would fight to a 5-5 score heading into the seventh.

Portsmouth managed to score the game winner with one out in the seventh to advance.

O’Connor finished the day with two RBI on two hits while Ava DelVicario also drove in a run. Wilson tossed a complete game in the circle and finished with five strikeouts. 

The Titans finished the year with a 10-4 league record and entered the playoffs as the third seed. 

Pilgrim fell to Cranston West 10-0 in the losers bracket on Tuesday.

The Pilgrim bats were held in check and Genna D’Amato and Skyler Hawes accounted for the team’s lone hits. 

The Pats beat East Providence 4-0 the previous day to stay alive in the tournament. Gretchen Dombeck drove in a pair of runs on two hits and earned the win in the circle as she allowed no runs in seven innings and struck out two batters.

Pilgrim finished the season with a 15-6 league record and was the second seed in the playoffs. The Pats will be returning a large core next season, including Hawes, Madison Tuirok and Dombeck. Captains D’Amato and Marin Prest are set to graduate.
