Baseball Falls to Rhode Island

MERION STATION, Pa. – The Saint Joseph's baseball team fell to Rhode Island, 16-4, at Smithson Field on Friday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Rhode Island (35-19 overall, 22-7 Atlantic 10) scored two in the first on a single by Reece Moroney and a fielder's choice by Jack Hopko.
 
• The Hawks got one back after Alex Kelsey and Colin Myers singled to start the first and Kelsey scored on an RBI single by Owen Petrich, but the Rams restored the two-run advantage in the second on a double by Anthony DePino.
 
• Saint Joseph's (23-26 overall, 16-13 Atlantic 10) equalized in the fourth.  Kelsey was hit by a pitch before Myers singled; Joey Pagano then ripped a single up the middle to plate Kelsey and cut it to a 3-2 deficit.  Later in the inning, Blake Primrose walked to load the bases for Carson Applegate, who drew a walk to force in Myers and tie the game.
 
• Another RBI single by Moroney put the Rams on top in the fifth, but a bases-loaded balk by URI's Braden Perry scored a run for SJU to tie the game at 4-4.
 
• Rhode Island went back in front in the sixth on a two-run single by Brody McKenzie and tacked on two more in the eighth consecutive singles by DePino and Eric Genther.  URI then added eight more in the ninth to put the game out of reach.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Perry was credited with the win after being credited with a third of an inning pitched; Noah Tincher took the loss after being charged with two runs in a third of an inning.
 
• Micah Wells got the start for the Hawks and held the Rams to three runs on four hits in four innings.  URI's Trystan Levesque was chased in the fourth, ultimately allowing three runs on nine hits in three and a third innings.
 
• Myers was 3-for-5 with a run scored, while Kelsey collected two hits and scored three times.  Applegate and Duda both recorded a hit and two walks to reach base three times in the game.
 
• By virtue of results around the league over the past 24 hours, the Hawks clinched a berth in the Atlantic 10 Championship for the fifth consecutive season; Saint Joseph's is the only program in the league to qualify for the last five postseasons.
 
• Rhode Island clinched the A-10 regular season title with the win and George Mason's loss to Fordham.
