How it Happened
A two-out homer by
Addison Kopack put Rhody up 1-0 in the first inning, but the Wildcats got the run back on a second-inning solo shot by Jacob Hinderleider.
Rhody went back up in the third - when
Alex Ramirez scored on an RBI double by Kopack - and a two-run homer by
Rob Butler gave the Rams a 4-1 advantage in the top of the fourth.
Davidson used another solo home run to cut URI's lead in half in the bottom of the fourth, but
Jack Cucinotta led off the fifth with a home run of his own to put Rhode Island up 5-2. A round tripper by Davidson's Michael Carico then made it a 5-3 game in the bottom fifth.
Parker Nolan belted a three-run homer as part of a four-run sixth inning that gave the Wildcats the lead for good. Davidson then added single runs in the seventh and eighth for the eventual 9-5 win.
