Rams Knock Off GW to Win Fourth A-10 Series

Rhode Island Lineup
Cucinotta (CF), Ramirez (2B), Kopack (SS), Genther (LF), DePino (3B), Cherry (DH), Butler (C), Fortin (1B), McCall (RF), Levesque (P)
 
George Washington Lineup

How it Happened
Jack Cucinotta's second home run of the series – this time, a three-run shot – put the Rams up 3-0 in the top of the second. Anthony DePino then led off the third with a double down the left field line and later made it 4-0 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Rob Butler.
 
George Washington managed just six base-runners through the first six innings, but was unable to advance anyone past second base. The Colonials finally got to Rhody's Trystan Levesque in the bottom of the seventh when a two-run homer by Ty Acker made it a 4-2 game.
 
Rhody used a two-out rally to add another run in the top of the ninth. DePino drew a walk with two away, then advanced to second on a base hit by Justin Cherry. Butler was then walked to load the bases before DePino crossed the plate on a wild pitch, putting URI up 5-2.
 
GW cut it to 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth – on an RBI single by Derek Ripp – but was unable to get any closer.
 
Rhode Island has now won four of five Atlantic 10 series. With a 9-6 conference record, the Rams are in a three-way tie (with Saint Joseph's and Saint Louis) for third place in the A-10 standings.
