Providence, R.I.--Junior center fielder Avery Katz (Brookfield, Conn.) drove in the lone Anchorwoman run as the Rhode Island College softball team was downed in the second game of a doubleheader, 3-1, vs. Worcester State at the Dayna A. Bazar softball complex on Thursday evening.
 
THE BASICS
Worcester State 3, Rhode Island College 1
Worcester State (17-9)
Rhode Island College (10-12)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• In what was a pitchers' duel for most of the game, WSU grabbed a run in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead.
 
• In the fifth inning, the Lancers worked some two-out magic and were able to drive in a run via a double.
 
• Katz also produced with two outs, cutting the Lancer lead in half, 2-1, after a base knock right up the middle to bring in RIC's first and only run in the fifth.
 
• Worcester State was able to get an insurance run in the sixth as the pitching settled in and blanked the Anchorwomen the rest of the way.
 
• Katz got one of only three RIC base hits.
 
• Freshman pitcher Gabby Cunha (Cranston, R.I.) pitched well despite the loss (1-1).
 
WHAT'S NEXT
In upcoming action, Rhode Island College will resume Little East play with a doubleheader at Western Connecticut on Tuesday, April 13 (4 p.m.).
