THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED
• After a scoreless first three innings, the Bison broke the game open by pouring in a five-run fourth frame.
 
• Sophomore second baseman Parker Camelo (Bristol, R.I.) knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly, which brought in fifth-year shortstop Izaiah Rivera (Pawtucket, R.I.), in the fifth.
 
• RIC posted a pair of runs in the seventh, stemming from a Bison throwing error off of a junior center fielder Jeren Pimentel's (Boston, Mass.) grounder to second.
 
• The hosts would slam the door in the eighth and ninth stanzas as the Anchormen dropped their seventh straight game.
 
• Fifth-year pitcher Terry Murray (Norfolk, Mass.) took the loss (1-3).
