Dighton-Rehoboth softball completes its tour of defending champions by defeating Division 3 champ Walpole

The defending Division 2 state champion Falcons (4-1) got offensive contributions up and down the lineup, with Izzy Moss, Mia Ribeiro, and Sara Marsella enjoying multi-hit afternoons and Emma Horrocks roping a two-run homer in the fifth inning. Dighton-Rehoboth's Mia Ribeiro attempts to slide in under the tag of Walpole catcher Abby Riley. MARK STOCKWELL FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE 'A lot of times, the story is Cam [Cloonan] and Haleigh [Kelley] and Emma, and those are our big power hitters,' said Holmes. 'It was nice to see that when some of our stronger hitters weren't hitting their stride, the rest of the team was able to come back and keep it moving.'

We played [D1 champion] Taunton, then [D4 champion] Case, and now Walpole, so it was nice because we were battle-tested really early,' Holmes added. 'We were able to really fine-tune things early. Our defense and our communication was something we were able to lock in on really fast. That spoke volumes today. 'There are definitely some things we need to work on a little bit, but we really try to put these tough teams on our schedule so that as the season goes on, we've already worked on some of the things we need to work on.'
