“The game was out of control from the start, with William & Mary (1-2) on top 14-6 after two innings,” according to URI. “Over the next three frames, Rhode Island scored 26 runs with an astounding 17-spot in the fifth. Freshman Adonis Medina, who entered as a pinch-hitter, homered twice in just that inning to put the Rams ahead, 32-14.”
