LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ— Senior Nick Richter (Fox River Grove, Ill./Cary-Grove) had three hits, three RBI, stole three bases and scored three runs to lead Rider to victory over La Salle Tuesday in the final non-conference game of the regular season.

\”Nick has been playing well,\” said Rider head coach Barry Davis. \”He’s been fairly steady. He’s been getting on base and he has always been a threat on the bases.\”

Senior Justin Thomas (Richboro, PA/Council Rock South) and red-shirt freshman Brian Uliana (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom) also each had three hits and three RBI for Rider (26-19), as the Broncs banged out 12 hits. \”We swung the bats today,\” Davis said.
