Game Preview
With first place on the line in the America East, Stony Brook hosts Binghamton for a three-game series this weekend. The series will be played at Dowling College in Brookhaven as renovations to Joe Nathan Field continue.
Stony Brook comes in having won nine in a row and sits one game in front of the Bearcats. The teams have combined to win the last three America East championships.
Last time out
Junior Evan Stecko-Haley (Coral Gables, Fla.) allowed two hits in 6.0 shutout innings and sophomore William Carmona (Hempstead, N.Y) went 3-for-5 with three runs scored as the Stony Brook University baseball team blanked the Fairfield Stags, 9-0, on Wednesday afternoon for its ninth straight win.
Stecko-Haley (1-0) struck out six and did not walk a batter. Freshmen Josh Barry (Seaford, N.Y.) and Joshua Mason (Woodland Hills, Calif.) and junior Anthony Luciano (Holtsville, N.Y.) all tossed a scoreless inning of relief.
