Ocean State didn't provide a probable pitcher.
Jack Patterson (Gulls): As a freshman, Patterson established himself as one of the top starters on Bryant, one of the top teams in the Northeast Conference. He's 4-3 with the Gulls this summer, and he has a 3.50 ERA over 11 appearances and seven starts. Patterson gives up a lot of hits- 47 in 43 2/3 innings- but he also has 43 strikeouts.
