Keys: Maine hopes to salvage two games of its trip to Rhode Island with a Monday twinbill against Rhode Island. Saturday’s doubleheader against Bryant College at Providence was canceled by poor weather and field conditions. Sheedy has hit in nine straight games, going 15-for-39 (.385) with three doubles. The Bears and the Rams haven’t met on the diamond since 1992, when the game finished in a 9-9 tie. The series dates back to 1911.
