Box Score College Park, Md. – Softball fell to Rhode Island 5-3 on Friday in their first game of the Maryland Invitational.
The Wildcats jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first when
Angela Giampolo walked to start the game and
Paige Rauch doubled to score her.
Becky Ducar then hit a double of her own to score Rauch.
However, Rhode Island would strike back with three of their own off of starter
Sara Kennedy to take a 3-2 lead after one inning. Giampolo singled home
Sydney Hayes to make it a 3-3 game in the second.
The Rams would hit a solo home run in the fifth and then another in the sixth and that would be all they needed to boost themselves to a victory.
The Wildcats head into Saturday with two big games on the horizon. The first is against Maryland at 3:00 PM and the second game is against Saint Peter's at 5:30 PM.
