Game Recap: Softball |

Rhody Falls 8-1; Swept at Fordham

How It Happened
Fordham's Devon Miller dominated in the circle and at the plate while leading her team to an 8-1 victory over Rhode Island Sunday.

Miller pitched a complete-game two-hitter with eight strikeouts. After the leadoff batter of the game reached on an error, Miller retired 11 consecutive batters before Ari Castillo nicked her for a solo home run with two outs in the top of the fifth.

At that point, Fordham (12-13, 4-4 Atlantic 10) had a 5-0 lead, with two of the runs being scored by Miller herself. She was 4-for-4 with a double, three singles, two runs batted in and two runs scored. Rachel Hubertus and Amanda Carey each added home runs as Fordham cruised to the three-game sweep.

Rhode Island (5-19, 1-7 A-10) dropped its seventh straight game overall.  

Inside the Box Scores
  • With her solo home run, senior Ari Castillo moved into a three-way tie for sixth place in Rhode Island history with 14 career long balls. She is tied with Kylie Shivery (2015-18) and Anne Kelsen (1990-91, 93-94).
  • Castillo also is now 25th in URI history with 118 career hits.
  • Fordham's leadoff batters combined to go 5-for-5 with one walk and five runs scored.
  • Junior Skyler Rapuano had Rhode Island's second hit, a single.
What's Next
Rhode Island is off until Saturday, April 2 when it begins a three-game series at Saint Louis. Tuesday's doubleheader at UAlbany has been postponed due to inclement weather expected in the Albany area.
