Cranston West blinked first.
The Division I state baseball champion was clipped, 6-3, by 16-time state champion Hendricken.
That victory enabled the Hawks to remain undefeated and grab sole possession of first place.
Entering the first week in May, Hendricken (10-0) held a three-game lead over the Falcons (7-3).
Tom Pannone was a one-man wrecking crew against the Falcons. Besides striking out 10 he also hit a three-run homer. Pannone picked up where he left off in a 10-5 victory over East Greenwich as he fanned 11in 7 1/3 innings.
Mike King and Reed Gamache personally wrecked Tiverton in 13-0 victory. King tossed a no-hitter replete with six strikeouts while Gamache belted a grand-slam homer.
Pannone again wielded a big bat in an 8-4 win over Mount St. Charles when he smacked a sixth-inning solo homer that snapped a 4-4 tie.
HAWK SKATERS LEAD THE WAY
Not surprisingly Hendricken received the most slots on the All-State boys’ hockey team.
The state-champion Hawks, who ended Mount St. Charles’s run of four consecutive titles, placed goalie Bill Palmer, defenseman Dan Nolte and forward Matt Creamer on the First Team.
Palmer, who was voted MVP honors in the best-of-three finals against Mount, allowed only 13 goals in 15 regular-season games.
Creamer recorded 43 points in 27 overall games. But what was most noteworthy about this honor was that he became one of the very few freshmen ever to be voted First Team accolades.
Defenseman Ben Handanyan and forward Brian Belisle represented Mount on the First Team while forward Bryan Lemos represented La Salle.
TWO LADY RAMS SKATE ON FIRST TEAM
Goalie Holly Scott and freshman forward Meaghan Rickard earned First Team All-State honors for La Salle which captured the Division I state hockey title.
Scott, who was a First Team pick last year, was voted the MVP of the championship series versus Mount St. Charles.
Rickard led the Rams with 17-11-28 totals during the regular season.
Rounding out the First Team are Bay View defender Bethany Fogerty and forward Kiley Colucci plus Mount St. Charles defender Laureen Deguire and forward Brianna Castro.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Caitlin Schofield had been striving all year to get her backstroke time in the 100-yard event under the minute benchmark.
She picked a great time for it.
Schofield won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 59.52 and the rest of her Bishop Feehan teammates had banner days as the Shamrocks won the Div. 2 state championship yesterday, at MIT's Zesiger Center.
“I’ve been preparing for this race all year,” said Schofield. “I’ve been trying so hard. I’ve been working so hard since the start of the season. I knew I could break a minute and that’s been my goal all year, so that was awesome for that to finally happen.”
The Shamrocks scored 363.5 points as a team to win its second state championship in the last three seasons. Last year’s champion, Reading, hung tough in second place with a team score of 319. Bishop Stang finished in third with a team score of 255.5.
“Everyone swam amazing, everyone did awesome,” said Schofield. “I am so proud of every single person who swam today. It was a team effort. There was no one person and we have the depth that just puts us over the edge.”
Schofield was joined as a first-place finisher with Marisa Reidemeister, who won the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard IM. Reidemeister swam the 200-yard IM in 2:09.12, and finished the 100-yard butterfly with a posting of 58.39.
Head coach Chris Payson echoed the depth that Schofield spoke of.
“We have a lot of seniors who wanted to prove a point in their last year and their last season,” said Payson. “We also had freshman who are trying to prove their place from the beginning. It was a very, very aggressive team.”
Reidemeister was also a key kog in the 400-yard freestyle relay that all but iced the meet with a time of 3:39.38. Caroline Capece, Maddie Myers and Caroline Steiner showed Reidemeister on the swim.
Reading, the defending champion, had a good showing by two of its relay teams. Olivia Gallugi, Alexa Bosley, Allyssa Woodman and Amanda Adreani came in second in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:42.80.
Bosley, Adreani, Brenna Melanson and Erin Daly took second in the 400-yard freestyle relay behind Bishop Feehan with a time of 3:42.30.
Bishop Stang was paced by Olivia Decas’ victory in the 50-yard freestyle with a finish of 24.50. It also got a victory in the 200-yard medley relay from Decas, Andrea Gauvin, Maria Lopez and Elizabeth Rose (1:50.84).
Kirby Roberts, Gauvin, Rose, and Decas all posted a victory in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a finish of 1:42.09.
Westwood’s Irinia Chiulli won the diving competition with a final score of 491.10.

New England Roundup: Connecticut

The most controversial rule in high school sports may be the “Score Management policy” Connecticut instituted for high school football in 2006.
Also known as the “50-point rule,” the Score Management policy can result in a one-game suspension for any coach whose team wins a game by more than 50 points. Bridgeport Central's Dave Cadelina became the first coach penalized when he was suspended after his team beat Bassick 56-0 in the first week of the 2006 season. Central topped 50 points when a reserve running back scored in the second half.
The suspension was later lifted, but Cadelina – and the rule – made plenty of headlines.
The rule received even more publicity last season, when Cadelina's team had a 49-0 lead at halftime and punted on first down throughout the second half.
Connecticut had gone three seasons without a team violating the rule, but that ended Saturday, when Northwest Catholic defeated Weaver 52-0. The rule was modified before the 2011 season, however, and that modification allowed Northwest Catholic coach Mike Tyler to appeal the penalty and avoid a suspension.
Now when a team wins by more than 50 points the game is reviewed to determine if the winning coach used proper sportsmanship.
Here is the press released issued by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Association regarding the Northwest Catholic/Weaver game:
Tyler will be able to coach this weekend's game against Bloomfield.

Andover notches 11th girls' swimming title

ALLSTON, Mass. – It never gets old. A few short words said by Andover coach Marilyn Fitzgerald summed up her team's performance at this year's MIAA Division I Fall State Swimming and Diving Championships.
The Lady Warriors topped the competition, marking the 11th time in school history that Andover has claimed the crown, finishing with a total of 357.5 points.
The good part of Andover's legacy is that “you have kids that want to be part of the tradition,” according to Fitzgerald. She added that “
Second-place Acton-Boxborough (225) was followed by Chelmsford (187), Framingham (113) and rounding out the top-five was Haverhill (98).
The competition were highlighted by Andover's Rachel Moore and her winning time during the 100-yard backstroke. The junior All-American swimmer finished with a time of 54.27, which was the fastest time ever recorded in this event at Harvard University's Blodgett Pool.
“I looked up at the scoreboard, and couldn't believe I had come so close to something that I had always thought was untouchable,” said Moore.
The Lady Warriors won four of first six events, which included a record-breaking time of 53.36 during the 100-yard butterfly recorded by Moore. She surpassed the previous record of 55.52, which set in 1999 by Andover alumnus Connie Brown.
During the 500-yard freestyle, Andover's Maggie D'Innocenzo also broke the state meet record, finishing with a time of 4:51.63.
Andover concluded the competition with a record-breaking winning time of 3:29.39 during the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team, which was composed of D'Innocenzo, Moore as well as teammates Ashlee Korsberg and Monica Patterson, surpassed the previous state meet time of 3:32.87 set in 1999.
The Lady Warriors finished the day with a total of eight first-place wins. Of the remaining events, Acton-Boxborough won the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle races, Lexington in the one-meter diving and Chelmsford in the 100-yard breaststroke.
“I think the number of the events we won today was really big,” said Fitzgerald. She added that “without the supporting cast [of the relays and other events], we wouldn't not be up on the top.”
READING TAKES DIVISION II CROWN
During the MIAA Division II Fall State Swimming and Diving Championships, both Bishop Feehan and Reading battled for the top, each finishing the competition with three first-place victories.
Reading's team captain Erica Belcher recorded a first-place time of 2:08.31 in the 200-yard individual medley and 56.16 in the 100-yard backstroke, while the school placed first in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:51.46.
Bishop Feehan's Erin Foley placed first in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:52.89 while recording a first place time of 4:57.73 in the 500-yard freestyle race. The squad was also victorious in the competition's final event of the day, recording a winning time of 3:41.08 during the 400-yard freestyle race.
During the championship, team captain Katie Kenney represented the two victories tallied by Urusline Academy, as she placed first in the 100-yard butterfly (58.34) and recorded a winning time of 53.77 in the 100-yard freestyle race.
