RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond baseball team put up eight runs in the bottom of the ninth, all off home runs, but fell short Sunday, 21-18, dropping the series to Fordham at Pitt Field in Atlantic 10 Conference action.

Richmond, 21-7 on the year and 4-5 in league play, heads on the road in conference action in April, taking on Rhode Island Friday.

Down 21-10 in the bottom of the ninth, Brady O'Brien led off the frame with a solo home run, his fifth home run of the series. Joey Wilga hit a pinch hit, three-run home run to get within seven runs. After a Fordham pitching change, Jack Arcamone hit the first pitch out to centerfield for a grand slam to make it 21-18. Wilga came up for a second time, with two on and two out, but struck out to end of the game.

The Spiders were down 13-0 after four innings. Angel Santiago-Cruz got two outs in the fourth then held the Rams scoreless in the fifth. Trevor Dosenbach got the Spiders on the score board with a two RBI base hit through the infield. After Jordan Jaffe walked and Jack Arcamone beat out an infield single, O'Brien hit a grand slam to make it 13-7.

Both squads picked up a run in the sixth. Connor Larson hit his fourth home run of the season, a solo shot to center field, to keep the Spiders within six, at 14-8.

Brian Reinke tossed a scoreless seventh, picking up a strikeout, but the Rams got to him in the eighth. Fordham put up five runs on four hits and a hit by pitch to push their lead out to 19-8. Jaffe hit his eighth home run of the season, a two run shot to left center, in the bottom of the eighth.
