Final Stats

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Senior Kim Ragazzo (Lawrence, N.J.) went 3-for-4 with three rbi as the Stony Brook softball team (12-17-1, 3-2 AE) cruised to an 11-2 win over Fairleigh Dickinson at University Field on Tuesday afternoon.

Bryant's Reaction

"We have started to play some good ball of late," said Bryant. "I liked our approach and execution at the plate today. We were aggressive early in counts and did a good job of moving runners over and driving them in."

Turning Point

Stony Brook broke the game open with a five-run third inning. The Seawolves led 2-1 entering the bottom of the third before scratching across five runs on three hits and a Fairleigh Dickinson error. Ragazzo delivered a one-out, two-run single to push the lead from 2-1 to 4-1 and seniors Allie Pisciotta (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) and Kellie Reynolds (Paso Robles, Calif.) added rbi doubles.
