May 31—Hadley Marchand was on target Tuesday to give the RHAM High softball team a second shot at CCC East rival Tolland.

Marchand fired a two-hitter and drove in two runs as the No. 23 Raptors earned a convincing 6-0 win over 10th-seeded and host Stonington in a Class M state tournament first-round game.

RHAM (12-9) will visit No. 7 Tolland today with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line. The Eagles defeated the Raptors 4-2 in Hebron on April 10 en route to winning the outright CCC East title.
