Softball eliminated from America East Championships in loss vs. Binghamton

VESTAL, N.Y. – No. 3 Stony Brook softball fell to No. 1 Binghamton, 11-4, in an elimination game on Friday afternoon at the Bearcat Softball Complex. With the loss, the Seawolves' (18-29, 9-7 AE) 2017 season comes to an end.
 
Taylor Pechin (Harrington, Del.) led the way offensively, hitting a two-run home run in the sixth inning. Jourdin Hering (Federal Way, Wash.) and Chelsea Evans (Merced, Calif.) each drove in a run, as well.
 
Quoting Head Coach Megan T. Bryant
"We came out with good energy and Jourdin's [Hering] leadoff at bat set a great tone for the first inning. We needed to sustain that effort. Making plays and limiting free bases are key at this time of the year. We are a very young team, and we will learn from this experience."

Notes
  • Jourdin Hering (Federal Way, Wash.) led off the top of the first inning with a solo home run, her fourth homer of the 2017 season. The freshman belted the home run deep to left field on the eighth pitch of the at bat to begin the game.
  • Chelsea Evans (Merced, Calif.) singled later in the top of the first with the bases loaded, plating Katelyn Corr (Suffield, Conn.) to make it 2-0 Stony Brook.
  • Taylor Pechin (Harrington, Del.) blasted a two-run shot to left field in the top of the sixth inning, her second home run of the season. Both of the freshman's homers have come in the last two days of the tournament.
  • Melissa Rahrich (Brighton, Colo.) worked 5.1 innings, giving up eight hits and seven earned runs to go along with two strikeouts. She also went 1-for-3 at the plate.
  • Sami Duffy (Carmel, N.Y.) and Allyssa Malony (Runnemede, N.J.) each chipped in with a hit of their own.
  • Binghamton scored two runs in the first inning, two in the third inning, two in the fifth inning, and five in the sixth.
  • Both Rahrich and Hering hit safely in each of Stony Brook's four tournament games. Rahrich went 7-for-13 in postseason play, while Hering went 7-for-15.
On Deck
The loss is the Seawolves' second of the tournament, ending Stony Brook's 2017 season. The Seawolves went 2-2 during the America East Championships in total, finishing with a final overall record of 18-29.
