Box Score

ST. LOUIS – The University of Richmond baseball team put together an eighth inning rally to break up the scoreless matchup against Saint Louis and collected a 2-0 victory Friday afternoon at the Billikens Sports Center. This is the squad's third shutout of the season and eighth A-10 series victory.

Richmond, now 32-22 on the year and 19-10 in Atlantic 10 action, and Saint Louis, 20-33 on the year and 11-18 in league play, will close out the conference series and the regular season Saturday at Billikens Sports Center with first pitch set for 12 p.m. ct / 1 p.m. et.

Jackson Hinchliffe tossed four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits, with just one runner that reached second, and one strikeout. Dom Ruggiero took over in the fifth, scattering three hits, one walk and struck out three. Ruggiero collected the win, now 2-1 on the year, and stranded two SLU runners at second. Justin Gay got the strike out to collect his second-straight save in as many days and seventh on the year.

The Spiders had only one runner reach prior to the final third of the game. Noah Haught was stranded after getting plunked in the third.

In the seventh, RJ Johnson Jr. reached after drawing a two-out walk. He advanced to second on a failed pickoff attempt by SLU's starting pitcher but was stranded.

In the eighth, Chris Schaller broke up the no-hitter with a base hit to left field. He moved up on a ground out before scoring from second on Haught's base hit down the left field line to take the lead. Haught then scored on Evan Wilson's double, prior to Wilson getting thrown out at third trying to stretch the play, for a 2-0 lead.
