Turning Point
With the score tied 2-2 entering the bottom of the third inning, Stony Brook plated two runs on two hits on an RBI single by sophomore RF Michael Wilson (Colonia, N.J.) and a ground out by junior DH Brandon Alamo (Artesia, Calif.). The Seawolves would not surrender the lead after that.
 
Quoting Head Coach Matt Senk
"Sometimes you just have to grind out a win and that was today. We found a way to win. I give credit to LIU Booklyn. They did a solid job in big situations, but we pitched better as the game went on right down to Pinto, who was lights out for the save. We did enough offensively and played errorless defense to grind out the win."
