Herrmann and Creighton combined to six-hit Nicholls for Stony Brook's third straight win

THIBODAUX, LA. – Sophomore RHP Brian Herrmann (Northport, N.Y.) and senior LHP Cole Creighton (Levittown, Pa.) combined to allow just six hits on Sunday night to lead the Stony Brook baseball team to a 6-3 victory over Nicholls State at Didier Field.
 
The victory for the Seawolves (3-0) earned the first series win of the young season and is the best start to a season since Stony Brook opened the 2012 campaign with four straight wins. 
 
Herrmann went 5.0 innings and allowed two runs on two hits to picked up the victory, while Creighton pitched the final four innings of the game and allowed just one run on four hits and struck out four to earn his first career save.
 
Senior 3B Bobby Honeyman (Massapequa, N.Y.) and sophomore RF Michael Wilson (Colonia, N.J.) each collected a pair of hits, while freshman CF Cristian Montes (Pacoima, Calif.) and sophomore SS Nick Grande (Smithtown, N.Y.) each drove in a run. 

Turning Point 
Trailing 2-1 after the first innings, Stony Brook took the lead for good with a pair of runs. SS Nick Grande doubled and came around to score when CF Cristian Montes singled up the middle to tie the game and Montes came around to score on a balk call to give the Seawolves a 3-2 lead.
 
Quoting head coach Matt Senk
"We came out tonight with the same determination, resilience and unselfishness we've displayed from pitch one of the series. If that continues tomorrow, which I'm confident it will, we can finish the weekend off in a big way."
