How it Happened
A six-run rally in the top of the seventh broke open what had been a solid pitcher's duel as Saint Louis beat Rhode Island 8-0 to sweep a doubleheader Monday.

The visiting Billikens (22-19, 11-5 A-10) held a slight 2-0 lead after six innings as SLU's Isabel Royle (9-11) and URI's Avery Vale-Cruz (2-3) were both strong in the circle. However, Saint Louis batted around in the final inning, using four hits, three walks and a hit batsman to piece together a six-run outburst.

A bases-loaded walk for Allie Marietta, a two-run single by Natalie Sullivan and run-scoring singles by Abby Mallo and Jane Kaniecki keyed the rally. Kaniecki had a double to start the frame, giving her two hits in the inning.

Despite outhitting Saint Louis 4-3 through the first six innings, Rhode Island (9-25, 3-11 A-10) could not get any runs across for the fourth straight game.

Inside the Box Score
  • Rhode Island has been held scoreless for its last 30 innings at plate. URI's last run came on a solo home run by Kylie Bulinski in the first inning of a game against Saint Joseph's on April 5.
  • Bulinski had a pair of singles for the Rams.
  • Freshman Julianne Torres reached safely in all three of her plate appearances. She had two singled and was hit by a pitch.
  • Torres had four hits in the doubleheader, knocking a pair of doubles in the opener. She has raised her season batting average to .301.
  • Junior Casey Miller added one single for the offense.
