HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Warriors came out swinging, as they plated three runs in the second inning to put RIC on the comeback trail early.
 
• Three more Eastern markers came off back-to-back doubles in the top of the fourth as the lead quickly ballooned to six, 6-0.
 
• RIC and the Warriors traded for two runs apiece in the sixth inning, as both fifth-year right fielder Justin Wardwell (Westport, Mass.) and senior first baseman Daniel Trzepacz (Mont Vernon, N.H.) both recorded RBI ground outs to keep the deficit at six, 8-2.
 
• However, a three-run homer in the seventh and a pair of runs in the eighth from ECSU would put the rest of the contest out of reach for the underdog Anchormen, as the game ended in eight innings due to the ten-run rule.

• Sophomore pitcher Stephen Sullivan (Acton, Mass.) took the loss (3-3).
 
• Trzepacz went 1-for-4 with an RBI. Parrillo went 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. They each finished with 223 career hits to share the program record for career base knocks.
 
• RIC's season comes to an end in the loss.
