KINGSTON, R.I. - Last season, the University of Rhode Island baseball team won more games than any other Division I program in New England en route to qualifying for its sixth-consecutive Atlantic 10 tournament - the conference's longest active streak. This season, the Rams will have a new field in place to start the 2009 campaign.

Thanks to a generous $1-million donation to URI Athletics, a new playing surface is being installed at Bill Beck Field over the next couple of months. The new surface - which will be the same artificial surface used by the Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays - will allow the Rams to spend more time on the field throughout the year.

Also included in the renovation project is: a new backstop, fencing, bullpens and scoreboard. Construction is expected to be completed late this fall.

Those wishing to extend additional support should contact head coach Jim Foster at 401-874-4550 or jimfoster@mail.uri.edu.
