Late Deluge Seals 11-3 Win for Baseball Over Rhode Island

KINGSTON, R.I. – The Saint Joseph's baseball team never trailed on Sunday, scoring seven runs in the final two innings to top Rhode Island, 11-3, in the finale of a weekend series between the teams at Bill Beck Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Saint Joseph's (13-18 overall, 4-5 Atlantic 10) opened the scoring in the second.  After walks to Tim Dickinson and Justin Igoe, a single by Brandon Drapeau plated Dickinson and put the Hawks on top.  Max Hitman followed with a walk to load the bases before Conlan Wall drew another free pass to score Igoe and double the lead.
 
• Owen Petrich hit a one-out single in the third inning and moved up to second on a wild pitch; Igoe then lofted a single to left center to bring home Petrich and make it a 3-0 game.
 
• Rhode Island (11-18 overall, 4-5 Atlantic 10) got on the board through a sacrifice fly by DJ Perron in the bottom of the fourth, but Ryan Weingartner led off the fifth with a triple and scored on a double by Dickinson to restore the three-run advantage before the Rams got one back on a groundout by Eric Genther in the seventh.
 
• The Hawks added some breathing room in the eighth.  Igoe walked before Hitman reached on a two-out error; Wall followed with a double to score Igoe and push the lead to 5-2.  Two batters later, Weingartner added a two-run single to make it a 7-2 game.
 
• URI plated one on a groundout by Reece Moroney in the eighth, but the Hawks put the game out of reach in the top of the ninth.  Dickinson and Ryan Picollo drew walks before a single by Hitman and doubles from Wall and Ryan Cesarini set the final margin.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Matt McShane got the start and allowed one run on three hits, striking out five in four innings for the win.  Alec Rodriguez tossed the final three and two-thirds innings to notch his third save.
 
• The Hawks chased URI's Connor Johnston after two and two-thirds; he allowed three runs on three hits and four walks to take the loss.
 
• Wall notched three hits and three runs batted in on the day; he scored two runs as well, as did Hitman, Igoe, and Dickinson.
 
• All nine hitters in the starting lineup notched at least one hit on the day for the Hawks.
