Bakersfield, Calif. - Stony Brook University's baseball team closed its six-game, seven-day trip to California with a 14-2 loss to the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on Wednesday afternoon at Hardt Field.

Each of the runners moved up on a failed pickoff throw and Cantwell then scored on an RBI groundout from junior Stephen Marino (Lake Grove, N.Y.).

Senior Robert Dyer (Selden. N.Y.) then struck out but Carmona followed with a run-scoring single to drive in Marshall. But the Roadrunners answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning highlighted by a two-run single from Ryan McIntyre.
