TYSONS, Va. – Trystan Levesque pitched a gem and Anthony DePino hit a grand slam to drive top-seeded Rhode Island into the Atlantic 10 baseball semifinals with a 5-3 win over No. 4 Davidson, 5-3 Wednesday at Capital One Park.

The regular season champion Rams (36-20) will face the No. 2 George Mason / No. 3 Saint Louis winner in Friday’s semifinals. Davidson (26-28) drops into the consolation bracket and will play Thursday at 3:00 pm.
