SETTING THE SCENE
Rhode Island (9-24) jumped out to an early lead, but a five-run sixth inning by Connecticut (18-20) led to a 11-2 loss for the Rams.

The first two batters of the game for Rhody reached and scored. Starter Sam Bedore pitched three scoreless innings before Erika Szymanski came on in relief. The Huskies scratched out an unearned run in the fourth inning, and then tied it with a single run in the fifth.

Szymanski recorded two outs in the sixth before Connecticut put together a five-run rally to break the game open. The Huskies added a pair of two-run home runs in the seventh to pad the lead.
