• Freshman Melissa Rahrich (Brighton, Colo.) got things going for the Seawolves in the bottom of the inning, sending a home run over the left field wall. Freshmen Riley Craig (Thornton, Colo.) and Jourdin Hering (Federal Way, Wash.) both hit singles up the middle to knock in runs and make it a three-run inning for Stony Brook.
