Back-to-back HRs by Resk and Grande not enough in loss at top-ranked Florida

GAINESVILLE, FLA. – Despite getting back-to-back home runs by junior LF Dylan Resk (Ardsley, N.Y.) and sophomore SS Nick Grande (Smithtown, N.Y.) to take an early lead, the Stony Brook baseball team dropped the series opening game to top-ranked Florida, 12-5, on Friday night at McKethan Stadium.  
 
The Seawolves' (6-2) five runs in the game were the most that the Gators (10-1) have allowed this season. Stony Brook also belted out 11 hits, including two each off the bats of junior C Sean Buckhout (West Nyack, N.Y.), sophomore RF Michael Wilson (Colonia, N.Y.) and Resk.

Turning Point ?
After Florida jumped out to a 3-0 lead, Stony Brook didn't roll over and scored two runs in the top of the third inning and then took a lead, 5-3, on back-to-back home runs by junior LF Dylan Resk and sophomore SS Nick Grande in the fourth inning.
 
Quoting head coach Matt Senk
"I'm proud of the way we competed from pitch one. However, if you're going to beat the number one team in the nation you've got to execute to the final out. We will need to do a better job with that the remainder of the series."
