How it Happened
Rhode Island (0-6) struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the second. Addison Kopack got things started with a one-out single to left, and then stole second to set up Alex Ramirez's RBI single.
 
Southpaw Trystan Levesque allowed just one base runner in each of the first three innings, before an error-extended fourth allowed South Alabama (5-2) to even the score at 1-1. The Jaguars added another run in the sixth to take a 2-1 lead.
 
Anthony DePino doubled down the right field line with one away in the seventh, and Rob Butler followed with a single through the left side that plated DePino and made it a 2-2 game. South Alabama capitalized on another Rhody error in the home half of the inning however, scoring what proved to be the game winning run with two away.
