How it Happened
Rhode Island (33-25-1) got on the board first as Joe Landi crossed the plate on a two-out single by Chris Famiglietti in the top of the second, but Saint Joseph's (25-31) evened it up in the fifth and took a 2-1 lead in the sixth.

The Rams got their first three men on base in the top of the eighth to set up Jeff Cammans' RBI-sac fly, which scored Famiglietti and tied things up at 2-2. The Hawks responded with a one-out triple in the bottom of the frame, but Mike Bradstreet came in and got back-to-back ground outs to end the inning.

URI was then retired in order in the top of the ninth before St. Joe's put the game away in the bottom of the frame.  The Hawks loaded the bases with one away and went on to score the winning run on a fielder's choice ball to first base - which Cammans threw wide of home plate, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
