George Washington Takes Two From Rhody

How It Happened
Rhode Island (10-28, 4-13 Atlantic 10) dropped two games to first-place George Washington Saturday afternoon. Both games were competitive, but in vastly different ways.

Game 1 – George Washington 8, Rhode Island 2
With single runs in each of the first two innings, Rhode Island had a 2-1 lead heading into the third. The visiting Colonials scored a run in the top of the third and then took their first lead with another run in the fifth.

A five-run sixth inning changed the complexion of the game. Alexa Williams delivered the big blow, drilling a grand slam with two outs to turn a two-run game into a six-run lead for George Washington. Rhode Island was unable to threaten the lead late.
 
Game 2 – George Washington 15, Rhode Island 10
Rhode Island made a furious comeback to rally from a nine-run deficit and tie the score, but George Washington (25-12, 15-2 A-10) responded with a six-run sixth inning to win it late.

Rhody trailed 9-1 after the Colonials scored seven times in the top of the second. With four-run rallied in the second and fifth innings, URI was able to knot the score. Emily Power delivered a sacrifice fly to drive in Margaux Lesser to start the scoring in the fifth. Rachel Zingerman added a two-run single, and a double steal by Zingerman and Ainsley Yoshizumi resulted in a tie game.

The Colonials came right back with a six-run rally of their own. Mia Parker's two-run home run and Maggie Greco's two-run single enabled George Washington to take command and secure the victory.
