PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 16, 2026) -- Shane Williams (Georgetown, Mass.), Danny Rogers (New Canaan, Conn.), and Brady Smolinski (North Grafton, Mass.) each had a first-inning RBI as No. 3-ranked Salve Regina University took an early 3-0 lead at Rhode Island College and added two in the fifth, one in the sixth, and seven more in the ninth, to finish with a 13-1 win in non-league action against the Anchormen at Pontarelli Field on Thursday afternoon. Freshman lefty Carrick Ryan (Durham, N.C.) pitched five innings in relief to pick up his third win of the season (W, 3-0).

The Seahawks (24-3)  have now reached double-figure runs in 17 of their 26 games this season. Salve Regina bashed a season-high eight doubles with two each from Williams and Rogers.

Sophomore designated hitter Dylan Cimini (Stonington, Conn.) went 4-for-5 for the second straight game and now has homered in back-to-back games. Williams collected two doubles among his career-high five base hits, a mark last reached by a Seahawk in 2023 by Christian Homa (5/11/2023).

After being staked to a 3-0 advantage, Jakob Oliver (Ramsey, N.J.) pitched two scoreless frames while striking out three of the seven Anchormen he faced. Ryan followed with three-hit ball over his five innings before Liam Scholl (Brunswick, Maine) and Hunter Alten (Chatham, Mass.) took care of the final six outs.

After Cimini led off the fifth with a first-pitch home run, Williams followed with a double to right center. Rogers doubled him home for a 5-0 Seahawk lead. Williams' double in the sixth raised the lead to 6-0.

Rogers, Smolinski, and Grady Schopps (Fairfield, Conn.) loaded the bases in the ninth on a single, hit by pitch, and single, before Matt Stokes (Summit, N.J.) doubled in a pair. Jake Harring (Portsmouth, N.H.) doubled in Stokes and Schopps and then crossed the plate on Cimini's fourth hit of the game. Andrew Schmit (Shrewsbury, Mass.) had a two-run double to bring in Cimini and Williams for the final score.
