Rams Unable to Hold On, Drop A-10 Opener to George Mason

How it Happened
George Mason got on the board first, plating a pair of runs in the top of the second on a two-out, two-run single by Carsen Pracht.
 
With one away in the fourth, Eric Genther was hit by a pitch and Anthony DePino was walked to put two runners on. After a strike out by Joe Fortin, Jordan Laske singled to right to push across Genther. Laske then stole second, and a bad throw to the base allowed DePino to score the tying run.
 
Rhode Island pulled ahead 3-2 the following inning when Jack Cucinotta scored on a wild pitch.
 
From there, neither team was able to get much going until the top of the ninth. Rhode Island appeared to be in control, retiring two of the first three hitters to come to the plate, but George Mason had other plans. The Patriots went on a tear and scored five unanswered runs – including back-to-back homers by Jordan Smith and Danny Hosley – to pull ahead 7-3.
 
With the wind taken completely out of their sails, the Rams went down in order in the bottom of the inning.

Inside the Box Score
  • Rhode Island managed just five hits in the game, compared to George Mason's 12.
  • Grad Student Jordan Laske singled twice and drove in a run.
  • Junior Alex Ramirez singled and doubled.
  • Freshman Eric Genther reached twice, via walk and hit-by-pitch. He also scored one of Rhody's three runs.
  • Freshman Anthony DePino also walked and scored a run for the Rams.
  • Grad student Jack Cucinotta scored once.
  • Junior Calvin McCall also had a base hit in the loss.
  • Fifth-year senior Ryan Twitchell cruised through three-plus innings without allowing a run, however was charged with the loss as he was responsible for Mason's go-ahead run in the top of the ninth.
Up Next
With the loss, the Rams drop into the loser's bracket and will return to action either at 7 p.m. on Wednesday or Noon on Thursday, depending on Tuesday's other results.
