Bronx, N.Y. – After taking both games of the doubleheader on Saturday, the Fordham University softball team wasn't able to complete the three-game sweep today, falling to the University of Rhode Island, 5-4, at Bahoshy Field.
 
With the loss, Fordham falls to 18-24 overall, 9-9 in the Atlantic 10, while Rhode Island improves to 16-23 overall, 5-13 in the conference.
 
The Rams trailed 5-2 entering the seventh and put up two runs in the inning before ending the game with the potential tying run on second.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Trailing 5-2 entering the seventh, Nikki Sudall opened the inning getting hit by a pitch and pinch runner Aubrey Zvovushe-Ramos moved to third on an Eva Koratsis single.
• Two outs later, Koratsis moved to second on a wild pitch before both runners scored on a Victoria Klimaszewski double, her second hit and third RBI of the game.
• But Klimaszewski was stranded at second when Neleh Nogay flied out to end the game.
• Fordham got on the board first as Koratsis led off the second with a double and came around to score later in the inning on a Klimaszewski single.
• Rhode Island took a 5-1 lead in the top of the fifth on an RBI single from Kylie Bulinski followed by a two-run single from Becca Zawistowski before the visiting Rams scored a pair of unearned runs on a Fordham error.
• After a more than two hour rain delay, Mikayla Swan made it a 5-2 game for Fordham with an RBI single in the sixth, plating Klimaszewski who opened the inning with a walk.
