How it Happened
Another dominant start by Trystan Levesque led the way for Rhode Island in a 6-1 victory over Saint Louis on Senior Day Saturday.

Rhody's victory – coupled with George Mason's loss at Davidson – gave URI sole possession of first place in the Atlantic 10 standings. The Rams lead George Mason by one game, and both teams have four league games remaining.

Levesque (7-1) pitched yet another gem, allowing just one earned run over 8.0 innings of work. He struck out six batters and did not allow a walk.

Eric Genther singled with one out in the bottom of the first and moved all the way to third thanks to walks to Reece Moroney and Jack Hopko. A sacrifice fly by DJ Perron brought Genther in for a 1-0 lead.

The Rams added three runs in the bottom of the third. Nic Notarangelo had a two-run single to plate Eric Genther and Reece Moroney. Scott Penney followed with an RBI single to extend the lead to 4-0.

Saint Louis got one run in the top of the seventh, but that was it. Rhode Island scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to ice the win.
