Tiverton High School’s softball team dominated Middletown in a 15-0 victory at home on Thursday (April 24). The Tigers come out swinging, racking up five runs in the first inning and nine more in the second. They sealed the deal with another run in the third, triggering the mercy rule and ending the game early.

Standout performances come from Sadie Pickering and Sara Poland, each contributing two hits and two RBIs. Kelsey Conway adds to the offensive onslaught with one hit and three RBIs.

The Tigers’ defense proves impenetrable, shutting out Middletown for the entire game.
