How it Happened
Bryant (15-16) got the only runs it would need in the top of the first when Robby Rinn's two-run single drove in both Jordan Mountford and Matt Albanese. The Bulldogs added two more in the fourth and another in the fifth for the eventual 5-0 win.

Rhode Island (15-15-1) recorded a season-low four hits in the loss, one each from Martin Taveras, Chris Hess, Connor Foreman and Nick DeRegis.
