RIC’s Rally Falls Short in, 8-4, Loss to
Bridgewater State
Doyon Provides Offensive Punch
|
|
Providence,
RI—Rhode
Island College sophomore center fielder B.J. Doyon (Douglas, MA)
went 3-for-5 from the plate, including belting a ninth inning solo
home run, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an eight-run deficit as the
Anchormen dropped an 8-4 decision to visiting Bridgewater State
College this afternoon in collegiate baseball at Anchorman Field. The
hosts overall record dips to 12-9, while the visitors improve to 12-7.

Rhode Island
College squandered a strong starting pitching effort from senior
Wade Briggs (Woonsocket, RI) as Bridgewater State was able to
capitalize on three Anchormen defensive errors to jump out to an early
advantage. Briggs hurled six innings, allowing just two earned runs on
11 hits, while striking out four. Classmate Caleb Barber (Mystic,
CT) tossed the latter three frames in relief, surrendering just
one hit and two walks, while also logging a strikeout. |

Bridgewater
State cracked the scoring column in the top of the third inning when
freshman third basemen Mark Claffey (Bellingham, MA) registered
a two-out, two-RBI single. The Bears continued to their two-out
trouble in the following inning, plating four runs. Sophomore catcher
Kelly LaDow (East Falmouth, MA) scored on a passed ball and a
throwing error, while senior shortstop Jay Lamoureux (Walpole, MA)
and sophomore right fielder Brad Koneski (North Dighton, MA)
each added RBI singles to balloon the visitors advantage to 6-0.

Facing an
eight-run deficit in the bottom of the sixth inning, Rhode Island
College finally was able to solve Bridgewater State freshman starting pitcher Ben Altman (East Taunton, MA). With runners on first
and third and one-out, sophomore shortstop Josh Cardoso (Dartmouth,
MA) grounded into a fielder’s choice, which plated Doyon for the
Anchormen’s first run. The hosts continued to apply the pressure in
the stanza, loading the bases with two out. Altman was able to get out
of the jam with his fifth and final strikeout of the afternoon,
leaving the bases juiced. The freshman right-hander earned his third
victory of the season, throwing six innings and allowing one run on
six hits. |

Rhode Island
College scored single runs in the seventh and eighth to cut the
deficit to 8-3. Doyon led the ninth inning off with his first home run
of the campaign over the left field fence, while freshman outfielder
Mike St. Germain (Seekonk, MA) followed suit with a single into
left field and Cardoso reached on an error, chasing sophomore pitcher
Connor Bishop (Arlington, MA). The Bears’ junior closer
Brian Schilling (Weymouth, MA) extinguished the threat by retiring
the next two hitters in order to notch his fourth save of the season.
|
|
|
|
Junior third
basemen Pete Olson (North Providence, RI) and Cardoso each had
a pair of hits for the Anchormen, while sophomore catcher Jordan
Amorin (Swansea, MA) chipped in with an RBI double.

Rhode Island
College will return to action at noon on Saturday, April 21, when the
Anchormen host Little East Conference rival Eastern Connecticut State
University. |
