GAME ONE
• RIC got on the board first when freshman left fielder Sophia Crudale (Cranston, R.I.) doubled down the left field line to bring in a run in the second inning.
 
• The bats didn't wake up for RIC again until the end of the contest, where the Anchorwomen scored five runs over the final three innings to seal the game.
 
• Kidd was masterful, notching win number five (5-4) and punching put 12.
 
GAME TWO
• BSU scored first on an RBI single in the first inning. RIC added two runs in the fourth inning thanks to RBI by senior designated player Alexis Boyce (Wolcott, Conn.) and sophomore shortstop Amanda Conti (Lincoln, R.I.). The Bears struck for a run to tie the game in the bottom of the frame.
