Richmond's Tanner Stanley, Jansen Fraser, and Kyle Adams each drove in four runs, as the Spiders completed a sweep of the Fordham Rams, 15-5, at Captains Park in Newport News, Virginia.
Â
Fordham started out hot, scoring three times in the first inning. Â
Joseph Runco singled up the middle to start the inning and moved to second on a bunt single. After a double steal,
Mark Donadio plated Runco with a ground out.Â
Matthew Kozuch then singled home Edmiston for a 2-0 lead. Kozuch then moved to second on a balk and scored on a single by
Charles Galiano.
Â
The Rams made it 4-0 in the fourth inning, capitalizing on a Richmond error. Kozuch was hit by a pitch to start the frame.Â
Ryan McNally then doubled down the left field line, which was then misplayed by the leftfielder, allowing Kozuch to score.
Â
Richmond then erased that deficit, scoring four times in the bottom of the fourth on RBI-doubles  by Tanner Stanley and Kyle Adams, as well as a two-run single by Aaron Newman.
Â
A two-run single by Adams gave Richmond a 6-4 lead in the fifth, but Fordham closed to within one in the sixth. Fordham loaded the bases with one out on a walk to Kozuch and singles by Galiano and
Jason Lundy.Â
Joseph DeVito was then hit by a pitch to force in Kozuch. The Rams' rally stopped there though, as pinch-hitter
Ryan Mahoney grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Â
The Spiders got that run back and more in the bottom of the frame, as Stanley connected on a three-run home run to right center, while Jansen Fraser had an RBI-triple to make it 10-5.
Â
Richmond continued to pour on the offense in the seventh, scoring five times in the seventh to put the game out of reach for the Rams.
Â
Fordham reliever
Jimmy Murphy took the loss, falling to 2-3 on the year, as he gave up six runs on seven hits in 2.1 innings of work.
Â
At the plate, Galiano was 2-for-3 with an RBI, while Kozuch was 1-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored.
Â
The Fordham baseball team will next be in action on Tuesday, March 31
st, as they play at Albany.
