Rams Fall at Elon in Season Opener

How It Happened                                      
Rhode Island lost its season opener Sunday, falling 17-1 in five innings at Elon. The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was canceled due to inclement weather.

Elon (1-0) jumped in front when G Kiser launched a three-run home run to left-center with two outs in the bottom of the first. The Phoenix scored one more time in the frame, then added six runs in the bottom of the second inning to open a 10-run lead.

Rhode Island (0-1) managed to get its lone run in the top of the third inning. Erica Robles reached on an infield single that brought in Sami Villareal from third. The final seven Rhody batters were retired in order, and the game was halted in the fifth inning due to the eight-run rule.

Inside the Box Score
  • Junior Sami Villareal was 2-for-3 in the leadoff spot for Rhode Island. She double, singled and scored the lone run for the Rams.
  • The run was the 25th that Villarreal has scored in her 47 career games for the Rams.
  • Senior Hannah DeSousa also had a double for the Rams.
  • Junior Ari Castillo and redshirt senior Erica Robles each had a single in two at bats. Robles also had URI's lone run batted in.
What's Next
Rhode Island is off until Feb. 27, when it is scheduled to play a doubleheader at Sacred Heart.
