Baseball Drops Regular Season Finale To Binghamton, 13-6

May 22, 2010

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Freshman Adam Brown (Melville, N.Y.) allowed just an unearned run in 7.0 innings and senior Robert Dyer (Selden, N.Y.) had two hits including a home run but the Binghamton Bearcats used a seven-run eighth to defeat the Stony Brook University baseball team, 13-6, on Saturday afternoon at University Field in the regular season finale for both teams. The Seawolves finish the regular season 26-25 overall and 15-9 in the America East and will be the No. 3 seed in the upcoming 2010 America East Tournament hosted by Binghamton. Stony Brook will open the double-elimination tournament on Wednesday against No. 2 Maine. First pitch is set for 11 a.m.

The teams entered the seventh inning tied at one but senior Robert Dyer (Selden, N.Y.) led off the seventh inning with a home run to left to give the Seawolves a 2-1 lead. Senior Michael Barbot (Clermont, Fla.) retired the first two hitters of the eighth. But the Bearcats then erupted for seven runs highlighted by a go-ahead two-run triple from Dave Ciocchi and a two-run single from C.J. Lukaszewski.

The Seawolves scored four runs in the ninth including a three-run home run off the bat of senior Sal Intagliata (Franklin Square, N.Y.). It was his first collegiate home run.

Brown allowed just four hits in his 7.0 innings of work. He did not walk a batter and struck out five. Matt Simone earned the victory for Binghamton, hurling an inning of relief.

The Seawolves hosted their annual Alumni/Senior Day at Saturday's contest. Over 50 alums returned including Joe Nathan `97. It was the final regular season game at University Field thanks to the generous donation of Nathan in support of the construction of a new baseball field at Stony Brook University. Beginning next season the field will be named "Joe Nathan Field."

The Seawolves also honored their six seniors- Michael Stephan (Patchogue, N.Y.), Chris Maier (Farmingdale, N.Y.), Jordan Purington (Westbrook, Maine), Justin Echevarria (Uniondale, N.Y.), Dyer and Barbot - prior to the game.
