After senior Sara Cerrone (Floral Park, N.Y.) was hit by a pitch to load the bases, senior Ashley Westphal (Huntington Beach, Calif.) hit a sac-fly to right to drive in Stony Brook's first run of the game. Another hit batsmen, this time sophomore Vicki Kavitsky (Cherry Hill, N.J.), narrowed the lead to one, and then consecutive RBI singles by junior Kelsey Fanelli (Audubon, N.J.) and Fleury put the Seawolves on top, 4-3.
