ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Sophomore Nick Brennen's second career grand slam and an eight-inning pitching performance by freshman Andrew Revello helped St. Bonaventure pick up a 7-3 win over Rhode Island in game two and earn a split in an Atlantic 10 doubleheader Sunday at Fred Handler Park.

A five-run seventh inning in game one helped the Rams dig out of a three-run deficit and rally for a 14-11 victory.

The split moves the Brown and White to 16-26 on the season, including 7-14 in the A-10. Rhode Island, who entered the weekend in a tie for second place in the A-10, is now 24-21 overall and 13-8 in the conference.

After being three-hit in the series opener on Friday, the Bonnies responded with 18 runs on 24 hits over the doubleheader against URI starters that have combined for 14 wins on the year. Half of the Brown and White's hits were of the extra-base variety broken down by eight doubles, one triple and three home runs.

Brennen highlighted the 12-hit attack in each game by going 4-for-8 with three runs scored, two home runs and seven RBI. Brennen drilled a home run in each game, pushing his season total to nine and giving him 40 RBI. With one more home run, Brennen will join fellow St. Marys, Pa. native Jesse Bosnik in double-digit homers and become just the second set of teammates in school history to accomplish the feat in the same season.

Bosnik's four-hit afternoon moved him to sole possession of second place on the single-season hit list with 72. Bosnik ripped three doubles on the day, giving him 18 on the year, the fourth-best total in single-season history. Freshman Billy Urban drove in a run in each of his first three at-bats in game one and finished the day 4-for-8 with two doubles and five RBI. Junior Brad Steinbach and freshman Jason Radwan each had three hits on the day. Steinbach blasted his fifth home run of the year in the opener.

Following a wild opener that featured a combined 25 runs, 27 hits, 10 walks, nine different pitchers and four errors, game two proved to be much different when URI starter Dan Rossignol, the A-10 leader in wins (8), took the mound.

The Bonnies rudely greeted Rossignol with six runs on eight hits over his brief three innings of work. Brennen provided the biggest blow in the bottom of the first with a grand slam over the right field wall that made it 4-0. St. Bonaventure tacked on another run in the second and one more in the third to vault out to a 6-0 advantage.

The six runs were more than enough for Revello, who out-dueled his senior counterpart by going a season-high eight innings and limiting the URI lineup to just six hits after they cranked out 15 the game before. The win improves Revello's record to 4-2 on the season, moving him into a tie for the team lead in wins (4) with fellow freshman Eddie Gray.

With finals week in session, St. Bonaventure will have four days off until it heads to Philadelphia for its final A-10 road series of the year at La Salle. Game one of three game set will begin on Thursday, May 13 at 3 p.m.
