SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Stony Brook baseball team (1-1) could not hold on against Wofford on Saturday afternoon and dropped a 9-8 decision to the host school on the second day of the Wofford Tournament at Russell C. King Field. 

The Seawolves jumped out to a 4-0 lead with three runs in the second and a single run in the third and led 6-3 before Wofford (2-0) plated six runs in the seventh inning to take the lead for good.
