Mason Hunt anchored the effort on the mound, delivering four solid innings that set the tone, while Nick Andruchow sparked the offense with a timely triple to center that plated the go‑ahead run.
The team’s defense tightened in the later frames, preserving the lead and forcing North Providence to settle for a season that saw them win eight of their last nine games.
Veteran Joe Riviera contributed a 2‑for‑3 effort, scoring a run that underscored the depth of the lineup, and freshman Michael Sabetta added three innings of relief, limiting damage to two unearned runs.
