THE BASICS
Saint Louis scored four runs in the first inning and held on for a 5-4 victory over Rhode Island in game two of an Atlantic 10 Conference doubleheader Saturday afternoon.
 
The win, coupled with Loyola Chicago's doubleheader sweep of second-place Dayton, clinched the A-10 regular-season championship for the Billikens, the first conference title in program history.
 
Rhode Island won the opener 1-0.
 
In addition to securing the A-10 regular-season crown and the No. 1 seed for next week's A-10 Championship, the Billikens (28-23, 19-5 A-10) set a school record for conference wins with their victory in Saturday's nightcap.

Saint Louis has won 13 of its last 14 games.
 
GAME 1 – HOW IT HAPPENED
•Rhode Island scored the game's only run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
 
GAME 1 – BILLIKEN NOTABLES
•Chloe Wendling suffered the tough-luck loss in the circle. Wendling struck out five, did not walk a batter and surrendered just five hits.
•Natalie Sullivan doubled, while Gabbie Kowalik and Ashley Marietta had a single apiece.
 
GAME 2 – HOW IT HAPPENED
•Two walks and an error in the Saint Louis first inning loaded the bases for Kelsey Etling, who smacked a three-run double. Etling advanced to third on a Jane Kaniecki single and scored on Marietta's groundout.
•The Billikens made it 5-0 in the third. Singles by Etling and Kaniecki and a walk to Marietta loaded the bases for Jocelyn Abbott, who delivered a sacrifice fly that scored pinch runner Grace Kmak.
•Rhode Island got back in the game by plating three runs in the fourth.
•The Rams pushed across another tally in the sixth, but the potential tying run was cut down at home for the third out.
 
GAME 2 – BILLIKEN NOTABLES
•Etling added a single to go 3-for-4.
•Abbott and Cami Newbanks each collected a single.
•Starter Kaili Hanner tossed the first four innings and was the winning pitcher. The victory was Hanner's fifth of the season, all coming in conference play.
•Wendling notched her first save of the season, allowing just one hit, one walk and one unearned run in three innings.
 
UP NEXT
The Billikens and Rams conclude the regular season with a single game Sunday at 11 a.m. Central.
