URI athletics program gets $1-million gift

The University of Rhode Island's baseball team has received a $1-million gift from an anonymous donor, according to a report on the university's athletics Web site. The report says the university will use the money to pay for major upgrades to its baseball facilities, including a new synthetic surface at Bill Beck Field, a sod and sprinkler system for the outfield and an indoor batting facility for baseball and softball. The money will also be used toward the new student-athlete development Center.

The money will count toward fulfilling the university's $100-million "Making a Difference" capital campaign.
