Break out the bats and gloves as high school softball season is upon us across the country, especially in the Ocean State. One of the tops when it comes to high level softball, Rhode Island features several teams that are among the New England region's best around. 

Making their case early on decisively at the top spot ever week are the La Salle Academy Rams, as they are in the conversation as one of the nation's top squads. The nationally-ranked Rams have won five games in a row as they head into the Division I final rounds.

Besides the state powerhouse Rams, who else is among the elites when it comes to high school softball in Rhode Island? Take a look at our Top 10 as we give you our tenth set of Rhode Island high school softball rankings.

Top 10 Rhode Island high school softball rankings (6/3/2025)

1. La Salle Academy (24-1)

The Rams have dominated during these RIIL playoffs, having run-ruled each opponent in the playoffs, outscoring their opponents 35-0.  Starting pitcher junior Hailey Vigneau (18-1, 1.25 ERA) has been unstoppable in the playoffs with a 0.00 ERA and scattering only four hits over three games started. Senior Lily Roumelis has paced the offense batting .600 with two doubles, two home runs and 10 RBIs.

2. Chariho (16-6)

All-state starting pitcher sophomore Adriana Jeannenot (15-3, 2.28 ERA) is their leader in the circle and at the plate. Jeannenot currently leads the state in strikeouts from the circle (191). Chariho's offense is batting .339 with eight home runs behind the big bats of Jeannenot, Erin O’Leary, and Maddie Dorgan. They have outscored opponents 186-68.

3. Cranston West (14-8)

Cranston West has had an up-and-down season, but are the most
experienced playoff team left in the other bracket and that playoff history might take them to the championship. Senior pitcher Mia Crudale (13-7 record) has kept her team in the thick of the race, much like she did last year. While only batting .301 with 12 home runs as a team, with seniors Sienna Nardelli, Mia Santomassimo, and sophomore Mia Baffoni have given the team's offense a spark in the playoffs.

4. Pilgrim (17-5)

Ace pitcher Gretchen Dombeck (15-4, 2.05 ERA) will need to be at her best this week to give Pilgrim a shot at nationally-ranked La Salle Academy in the RIIL championship.  The offense is batting .322 with 12 home runs behind sophomore Madison Tuirok, seniors Marin Prest, and Genna D’Amato.

5. Smithfield (11-5)

The Sentinels season ended in a 4-3 loss to Cranston West in the RIIL playoffs, but Smithfield quietly had a resurgence this season behind first-year head coach Mary Menucci. Sophomore pitcher Crystal Cacador (11-8, 2.10 ERA) had a commendable season as one of the team’s young leaders.

6. St. Raphael Academy (16-2)

The Saints' success can be tied to starting pitcher sophomore Izzy Sousa (9-0, 0.91 ERA). Offensively, the team is led behind top hitters Sousa, freshman Noelle Welch, sophomore Sophie Roman, and senior Jaliyah De Los Santos. St. Raphael Academy is batting .312 with nine home runs this season, and will be rested and ready to go this weekend in the RIIL Division II championship.

7. East Providence (10-12)

Dvision I of the Year’ Katie Solitro led the Townies to a solid season without much pitching firepower and earned respect from the league as a team to watch out for next year. East Providence has batted .304 with nine home runs this season behind senior Sylvie Patterson and the young bats
of freshman Ella Grimley and sophomore Trinity Provencher.

8. Prout (12-8)

The Crusaders were bit by the injury bug at the end of their season and limped into the playoffs as the No. 5 seed, but lost their first game to Cranston West, then dropped their final game to East Providence. Prout had a promising season lined up with sophomore pitcher Lucy Kaiser, but both she and Kelsea Flaherty, a top hitter in the lineup, pulled up injured for the playoffs.

9. Coventry (11-8)

The Oakers just was never really put it together, with a record of 5-6 in the month of May. Having earned the No. 6 seed based on RPI, the Oakers beat Moses Brown in the play-in round, but then dropped their first game of double elimination 5-1 to Chariho, followed by an elimination loss 2-1 to Smithfield.

10. Westerly (11-11)

Ella Keegan is the team’s best returning hitter and paired with junior Bella Mazzarese, will lead the charge offensively. Westerly will have to figure out how to replace all of the seniors they lost, which made up for 50 percent of the team's run production in 2024. The Bulldogs play a heavy Division II schedule by choice, but the rest of the division is waiting to see how they fare against top Division I teams.
