How it Happened
Trailing 1-0 after seven innings, Rhode Island finally got on the board and pulled ahead in the bottom of the seventh. Laurence Hill got things started by drawing a leadoff walk, after falling behind in the count 0-2. Brett McManus then drove a ball deep into right center for the game-tying RBI triple. Chase Livingston followed with a sac fly that plated McManus and gave the Rams their first lead of the game. 

With his pitch count approaching 100, starter Tyler Wilson went back out for the eighth and got three straight strikeouts to quickly send the Rams back into the dugout. Rhody kept the momentum going from there, plating two more runs for a little bit of breathing room. Martin Figueroa singled to center to lead things off, and later scored on a two-out triple by Hill. McManus followed with his third hit of the afternoon - a base hit that drove in Hill and put Rhody on top 4-1.

Wilson then finished it off with a 1-2-3 ninth, punctuating the victory with a game-ending strikeout.
