How it Happened
Central Connecticut took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, but was unable to further capitalize on the 10 walks issued by the Rhody pitching staff over the first six innings. During that span, the Blue Devils stranded 12 baserunners – including leaving the bases loaded three times.
 
CCSU tacked on another run in the top of the seventh for the 2-0 advantage.
 
Offense came at a premium for the Rams, who managed just two singles – both off the bat of Justin Cherry – through the first seven frames. Rhody finally got on the board in the bottom of the eighth, thanks to back-to-back, two-out doubles by Eric Genther and Jack Cucinotta. However, Central Connecticut got the run back in the top of the ninth for the 3-1 win.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Redshirt senior Justin Cherry singled in his first two at-bats. Entering the game, the Rams' two-way player had not appeared at the plate since May 3, 2019.
  • Grad student Jack Cucinotta doubled and scored a run for the Rams. He was the only Ram to advance past second base.
  • Freshman Eric Genther's RBI double gave Rhody its lone run of the game. Genther also reached base on a walk in the bottom of the first.
  • Grad student Joe Fortin was hit twice.
  • Freshman Anthony DePino was walked in the seventh inning, extending his reached-base streak to a team-best eight games.
  • Freshman Corey Savedoff took the loss in his first career start for the Rams, allowing one run on two hits and five walks. He also struck out three over the course of his three innings.
  • Freshman Bryan Kraus struck out three and allowed just one hit through 2.2 innings of scoreless relief.
  • Despite scoring only three runs, Central Connecticut finished the game with eight hits and 11 walks. The Blue Devils stranded a total of 14 base runners.
  • Rhode Island had just four hits and two walks on the afternoon.
