Smith pitched seven innings and gave up only two hits with five strikeouts.
The Rams had 11 hits to three from the Explorers. In the top of the fifth, URI took the 2-0 lead with two hits and an error.
The Rams added to their lead in the seventh when they scored four more runs. Sophomore Oliver Palmer, freshman Tom Coulombe and freshman Pete Mastors all scored on a triple by Hagey. Hagey scored on a sacrifice fly by senior Zach Zaneski to take the 6-0 win.
Junior reliever Luke Demko and sophomore Tim Boyce finished out the eighth and ninth innings for URI not allowing a run.
The Rams now have a record of 22-21-1 (9-8-1 A-10) with three weeks left to play. They will host the College of Holy Cross today at 3:30 p.m.
"The guys have been playing good lately," Foster said.
Sophomore right-hander Dan Rossignol and freshman southpaw Chris Pickering will split pitching duties today for the Rams.
"It should be a good, competitive ballgame," Foster said.
The Rams have a tough schedule ahead of them with A-10 conference games against Saint Joseph's University this weekend, the University of Massachusetts the weekend after and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte to finish the regular season.
