Rhode Island Scheduled for Pair of Midweek Games

Rhode Island vs. Connecticut - Series Notes

Tuesday's game between the Rams and the Huskies will be the 204th in the history between the programs, which dates back to 1896.
Since the inaugural meeting, UConn has earned a 119-80-4 advantage over Rhode Island and has taken two of the last three meetings.
Rhody's lone win in that span was earned in 2022 when it knocked off No. 18 Connecticut, 6-2.
Then-freshman Anthony DePino homered twice in the victory, which was head coach Raphael Cerrato's ninth over a nationally-ranked opponent.
This year, the Rams will be looking to avenge a 9-0 loss from a season ago that was suffered at Dunkin' Donuts Park, home of the Hartford Yard Goats (April 25, 2023).
Sophomore Michael Anderson and junior Eric Genther were the only Rhode Island players who recorded hits in the contest.

Rhode Island vs. Stonehill - Series Notes

Rhode Island and Stonehill will face off for the first time on Wednesday afternoon.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Skyhawks formally began their reclassification process to become an NCAA Division I affiliate.
Stonehill now competes in the Northeast Conference, where it finished 10-20 in baseball a season ago.

Perron Making the Most of His Opportunity

Graduate student DJ Perron has established himself as one of Rhode Island's more reliable hitters in his first season with the club.
A four-year starter for UMass Dartmouth (NCAA Division III), Perron joined the Rams in the offseason and has made appearances in both the infield and outfield.
He currently leads the team with five multi-hit games and has reached base safely in each of his last five outings.
Perron has started all 15 games for URI and is currently hitting .254 with four RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Baseball Announces Fundraising Partnership with Hasbro Children's Hospital

Rhody Baseball has partnered with Hasbro Children's Hospital, located 45 minutes away in Providence, to raise money for the hospital during the 2024 season.
Throughout the year, every Rhody strikeout, win, hit, home run and stolen base will contribute directly to the children's hospital.
The fundraiser consists of five different pledge levels, with dollar amounts attached to each of the aforementioned statistical categories.
Juniors Eric Genther and Anthony DePino spearheaded the effort, working with sport administrator Jeff Johnson and members of the Hasbro Children's Hospital administration to organize the fundraiser.
Updates concerning the Rams' progress on the field and in their fundraising efforts will be provided on the team's social media channels throughout the year.
Fans interested in contributing to this great cause through a pledge or a one-time gift can do so HERE.
