Sydney May came out of the bullpen for Fordham (16-23, 7-8) and took the loss. Elizabeth Gaisior was a bright spot for the Rams, starting the ballgame and throwing six innings, giving up one run on five hits, with one walk and three strikeouts.
HOW IT HAPPENED

After the Seawolves rallied to tie the ballgame at one, the game went into extras with the score holding until the Rams retook the lead in the ninth inning. Fordham pushed across a run on Sophie Nesturrick's one-out RBI double, which brought the score to 2-1 in favor of the Rams, who were unable to hold the lead, as Stony Brook scored two times in the bottom half of the ninth to grab the 3-2 win.
