Box Score

VESTAL, N.Y. -- The Stony Brook baseball team (31-14-1, 18-4-1 AE) closed out the regular season in odd fashion of Saturday afternoon, tying Binghamton (17-24-2, 6-16-1 AE) 4-4 in an America East contest at the Bearcats Sports Complex. The game was halted with two outs in the top of the ninth inning due to weather in the area.

Stony Brook will now head to Lowell, Massachusetts, for the America East Tournament as the No. 1 seed and face fourth-seeded Hartford in the opening game on Thursday at 1 p.m. at LeLacheur Park. (Tournament Central)
