HOW IT HAPPENED

Josh Lincourt (North Kingstown, R.I.) and freshman outfielder
George Threats (Cranston, R.I.).
Â
• The Fighting Scots were quick to answer in the home half of the fourth frame as a pair of runs scored on an Anchormen fielding error to tie it, 2-2.
Â
• The hosts committed an error during the fifth, which brought Trzepacz to the plate, as RIC took the lead again, 3-2.
Â
• However, a bases-clearing double in the sixth stanza gave Gordon the outright lead for the first time all game, 5-3.
Â
• The Anchormen would concede again, off an RBI single, to give the Fighting Scots a three-run, 6-3, lead.
• Sophomore reliever
Jake Foster (Lincoln, R.I.) took the loss (1-2).
