BALTIMORE – The Stony Brook baseball team heads south to close out the regular season as the Seawolves visit UMBC for a three-game America East Conference series at Alumni Field.
The Seawolves (23-23, 10-9 AE) and the Retrievers (19-21, 10-7 AE) will square off in a doubleheader at 12 p.m. on Friday before closing out the series with a single game at 12 p.m. on Saturday.
