5 THINGS: Biking, Cam-ming and Running

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, June 6, 2012:

Playoff fever, catch it! Here are the playoff updates from last night.

• In Division II boys’ lacrosse, the South Kingstown Rebels were overwhelmed by East Greenwich in the title game Tuesday night at Rhode Island College. For our full story and video of the awards ceremony, click .
• In Division I baseball, South Kingstown plays at Pilgrim today, with the winner going to the Final Four. Pilgrim beat South Kingstown 11-10 to force an elimination game between the two teams. First pitch is at 4 p.m.
• In Division II baseball, Prout hosts West Warwick //// Exeter-West Greenwich at 4 p.m. today. The Crusaders are in the winners’ bracket, so they’ll have two shots to get into the Final Four.
• In Division II baseball, Narragansett hosts North Smithfield /// Juanita Sanchez at an unspecified time today – Check the RIIL site for more details later in the day. This is a losers’ bracket game, with the losing team eliminated from the playoffs.
• In Division II softball, No. 4 Prout plays No. 1 East Greenwich in a neutral site game at Rhode Island College tonight. First pitch is at 5 p.m. The losing team will play Tolman on Thursday, and the winner will play at an unspecific time in the future against West Warwick or Woonsocket.
• The Division I boys’ volleyball brackets on the RIIL state haven’t been updated as of 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. So you can relax – Hendricken hasn’t won the title yet. Based on their 13-3 league record, South Kingstown will most likely be the second seed and receive a bye, and play either Coventry or North Kingstown (the two teams tied for the No. 3 seed) or LaSalle or Mount St. Charles (the two teams tied for the No. 6 seed).

More sports! But for the younger crowd. In conjunction with the Narragansett and South Kingstown Parks and Recreation departments, the Hershey’s Track and Field games will be held at 5:30 p.m. at Curtis Corner Middle School. Pre-registration is required – For more info, click here.

Budget happenings going on. The Narragansett School Committee will meet at 4 p.m. today at the town hall, but in the Central Administrative Office. According to its agenda, on the docket is voting on an adjusted FY 2013, recalling teachers and approving bids for lockers and computers. The school committee was level-funded by the town council this year.

mmmmm. Food truck night is tonight at Narragansett Town Beach! There will be brick oven pizza, seafood, BBQ, grilled cheese and more. The trucks will be there from about 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“Bicycle, bicycle!” – Freddy Mercury, Queen, from this song. Every Wednesday until the end of the school year, there will be a bike train to Curtis Corner, Broad Rock, Wakefield and Peace Dale schools. For more info, such as departing times, click .

Donate to the book sale! The Friends of the Maury Loontjens Memorial Library are accepting donations for their annual book sale, which takes place on June 8 and June 9. Donations are being accepted during normal business hours. For more info, click .

“I love acting. It is so much more real than life.” – Oscar Wilde. The Contemporary Theatre Company is offering acting classes at 5 p.m. The cost is $10.

He’s kind of like the Ozzie Canseco or Roger Clinton of the family though. On this day in 1808, Joseph Bonaparte, this dude’s brother, was crowned King of Spain. As you can imagine, this didn’t go over super well – he only had tenuous control over the country, since his generals always wanted to check with his big-little-little brother first, and Joe Bonaparte stole the crown jewels of Spain and sold them in America after he abdicated the throne. Outside of that though, things went well.

Plus, he had the best slap shot in NHLPA 93 for the Super Nintendo, which is really the most important thing. Happy 46^th birthday to Boston Bruins legend and Hall of Fame hockey player Cam Neely.
