How it Happened
Trailing 1-0 after one, Connor Foreman evened the score in the top of the second as he drew a leadoff walk and later came around to score on a wild pitch. 

Bryant (26-11) moved back in front thanks to a two-run third before tacking on four more the following inning to lead 7-1 after four complete.

The Rams (7-28) stormed back in the top of the fifth, matching their season high for runs in an inning with five on six hits. RJ Warnock and Tim Caputo got the rally started with back-to-back singles before advancing to second and third, respectively, on a sacrifice bunt by Shane O'Connell. Mike Sherburne then singled down the third base line to score Warnock and Mike Corin extended the inning when he reached on a two-out error that allowed Caputo to cross the plate.

Derek Gardella kept things rolling with a pinch-hit double that scored Sherburne and set up Nick DeRegis' run-scoring single that pushed across Corin. Thomas Buonopane rounded out the Rhody scoring with a low liner to right that scored Gardella to make it a 7-6 game.

That was as close as the Rams would get, however, as Bryant added an insurance run in the sixth and scored twice - on a walk and a wild pitch - in the seventh to push its lead to 10-6. The Bulldogs tacked on their final run in the bottom of the eighth, on a bases-loaded infield single.

Buonopane drew a bases-loaded walk for the Rams in the top of the ninth, but Rhody was unable to do any further damage, stranding three on a game-ending called third strike.
