RICHMOND, Va. - The Rhode Island baseball team got to Richmond ace Tim Stauffer for 10 hits - including four doubles - but only managed one run in a 10-1 loss to nationally ranked No. 11/15 (NCBWA/SportsWeekly-ESPN) Richmond in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

The game was delayed for an hour and 15 minutes due to rain.

The Rams drop to 11-14, 5-2 in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Richmond improves to 22-5, 5-1 in the A-10.

Freshman center fielder DJ Burns (Lynn, Mass.) went 3-for-4 with a double and run scored to lead the Rams. Freshman second baseman Wayne Russo (Warwick, R.I.) went 2-for-4 with two doubles and freshman designated hitter Adam Houston (East Greenwich, R.I.) was 2-for-3 with a double.

Junior first baseman Dan Batz (Mohnton, Pa.) had two hits and senior Justin Lamboy (Warwick, R.I.) added a single.

The Rams had two hits in each of the first two innings, but were unable to push across a run. In the third inning, Burns, Batz and Houston each singled, but the only Rams' run came on a sacrifice fly by sophomore right fielder Matt Sullivan (Nashua, N.H.).

Richmond took a 2-0 lead in the first and added another run in the second inning. The Spiders broke the game open with a four-run fourth inning, taking a 7-1 lead. Ben Zeskind hit a three-run homer and Jim Fasano added a solo shot in the inning.
