The Cranston Bulldogs held on to an 8-7 win over Smithfield.
In the first inning, Cranston jumped out to a 5-0 lead with a key hit by catcher Evan White two-run, two out single.
However, a scrappy Smithfield team erased that lead with a five-run inning of their own in the top of the 4th, knocking out Cranston starter Anthony Decotis.
The game MVP would be relief pitcher AJ Greene who came into the game, pitched out of a bases loaded jam with no out and gave up only one earned run over 3 2/3 innings to earn the win.
Pitcher Mike Smith came on in the top of 7th and got the final out of the game, stranding the tying on run second base, for his first save of the season.
