How it Happened
Rhode Island won its eighth straight game, shutting down Stonehill 3-2 in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon.

Rhody (12-8) got two runs in the bottom of the second inning. Ryan Thompson started things with a triple to right field, and Rob Butler delivered him with a sacrifice fly to center. Will Hindle reached on an infield single and advanced to second on the play due to an error. He moved to third on a groundout and came in when Brody McKenzie delivered a two-out single.

In the fourth inning, McKenzie again drove in Hindle, this time executing a squeeze play to put the Rams ahead 3-0. Stonehill (4-12) later manufactured a single run in the top of the sixth. With two outs, Aidan Sengenberger singled. He moved around to third after back-to-back walks, and then he scored on a wild pitch.

The Skyhawks cut the deficit to one in the top of the eighth when Sam Parks lined a solo home run to right. Sean McGee walked to get the potential tying run on, but Zach Morris induced a groundout to preserve the lead.
