Rams Sneak Past Bonnies in Series Finale

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The St. Bonaventure University softball team fell to Rhode Island, 8-7, in extra innings in the series finale Sunday afternoon.

The Rams jumped out to an early lead in the series finale, scoring the game's first run in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly.

The Bonnies responded with two runs in the top of the second to take their first lead of the day.

Grace Miller started the scoring with a sacrifice fly before Abigail Ahern stepped up and lined an RBI single to right field for the Bonnies second run of the inning.

Rhode Island, however, retook the lead with a pair of runs on an RBI double and an error in the bottom of the third.

The Bonnies jumped back out in front in the top of the fourth, scoring a pair on a Nolah Moyer single and taking a 4-3 edge over Rhode Island.

The Rams once again were quick to answer, tying the game on an RBI groundout in the bottom half of the fourth.

Bona's was able to retake the lead in the sixth when Sydney DeGram reached on an error that allowed Reanna Perkins to score before Lauren Dundon doubled home a pair that gave the Bonnies a 7-4 lead.

Rhode Island would not go away, tying the game at 7-7 with three runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Neither team could find the go-ahead run in the seventh as the game headed into extra innings.

The Rams had runners at first and third before scoring the game-winning run on a wild pitch with two outs.

Kendall Stull worked 4.0 innings in the circle for the Brown and White while Ava Lomelin pitched 3.2 innings in relief.

The Bonnies are back in action Saturday, March 21 when the host Fordham for their home opener at Joyce Field.

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH CAMDEN DECKER
"I am proud of the way we came out and competed this weekend. Obviously getting the first win is great, but more importantly to open conference play with a series win is the main goal. Our offense really broke out this weekend and we had good starting pitching. With a bit more execution defensively, we come home with a series sweep. But I am happy with the series win and we'll look forward to doing the same in our home opener next weekend."
