How it Happened
Rhode Island Baseball lost 19-12 to No. 11 Oregon in the second game of a doubleheader at PK Park on Saturday evening. Though URI (3-3) outhit its hosts 13-9, the Ducks scored in all but one inning to cruise to victory. 

Oregon (5-2) was first to strike, hanging a crooked number in the opening frame with a two-run homer. Rhody answered right back with a five-spot in the second, powered by a pair of RBI singles from Adonis Medina and Jack Hopko, as well as a handful of freebies issued by the Ducks' pitchers.

While the home team got one of the scores back in its half, the Rams re-extended their lead in the top of the fourth when Reece Moroney scored on an error and Rob Butler drove in two runners with a single. Rhody's 8-3 advantage was its last of the contest, as Oregon outscored the team 16-4 down the stretch. 

Inside the Box 
  • Senior Anthony DePino and junior Jack Hopko led the Rams with four hits apiece (4-for-5). 
  • Hopko homered once and recorded a team-best four RBI. DePino's double accounted for URI's only other extra-base hit.
  • DePino and Hopko were the only Rhody players with multi-hit games. 
  • Redshirt senior Rob Butler was 1-for-3 with two RBI. 
  • Sophomore Reece Moroney was 1-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. He also stole a base. 
  • Every player in the lineup scored at least one run. 
  • Redshirt sophomore Evan Maloney pitched the first 1.2 innings of the game, but left due to an apparent injury. He was charged with one earned run.
  • Sophomore Zach Morris was tagged with the loss. He faced five batters in the fourth inning and was charged with four earned runs. 
  • Junior Dorsy Asencio pitched a career-long 3.0 innings. He struck out one batter and scattered three hits while allowing three runs.
  • Freshman Ryan Thompson made his collegiate debut on the mound, pitching the final 2.0 innings of the night. He fanned two Ducks and walked two while letting up three runs. 
  • Oregon's win means the best the Rams can do in the series is tie. Rhody won the opener 12-11 in on Friday night before the Ducks won the first game of the doubleheader, 1-0 (11 inn.).
