How it Happened
Rhode Island Baseball was unable to keep the Northeastern offense in check, losing the series opener 15-4 on Friday afternoon at Friedman Diamond.

The Rams (2-11) were outhit by the Huskies 18-9 in the setback and held the lead just once when Michael Anderson drove a solo shot out to left field in the top of the first. 

Northeastern (11-4) scored in each of the first four innings to run up 14-2 lead. Starting arm Connor Grotyohann and relievers Zach Morris and Jake Foster were tagged with runs during the spurt, which saw the home team leave the yard three separate times. Rhody's other score in that time was an RBI single from Rob Butler that plated DJ Perron. 

Rhode Island scored its final two runs of the game in the fifth inning when Eric Genther and Anderson cranked out back-to-back RBI doubles, while the Huskies capped off their total with a seventh-inning RBI single. 

Inside the Box Score
  • Sophomore Michael Anderson led the Rhody bats with a 3-for-5 performance at the plate. He now has a team-best three home runs this season.
  • Junior Eric Genther also had a multi-hit game, finishing the afternoon 2-for-4 with one run scored. 
  • Graduate student DJ Perron was 1-for-3 with a walk and stole a base.
  • Freshman Frank Kula, who entered the game as a defensive sub, reached base for the first time in his career after getting plunked in the ninth. 
  • Sophomore Connor Grotyohann was given the loss, moving his season record to 0-4. He scattered four hits and issued five walks in 1.2 innings.
  • Redshirt junior Brandon Hsu was solid in 2.0 innings of relief, striking out a pair of batters and giving up one run on five hits.
  • Freshman Ethan Mahan worked around one baserunner in the ninth for a scoreless frame and struck out a career-best two Huskies.
  • URI's pitching staff walked a total of nine batters.
