STONY BROOK, N.Y.  – The Stony Brook baseball team scored 11 unanswered runs on Sunday afternoon to earn a come-from-behind 11-6 America East Conference victory over visiting UMBC at Joe Nathan Field.
 
The Seawolves (21-17, 7-8 AE) trailed 6-0 to the Retrievers (13-20, 6-6 AE) in the third inning before they plated four runs in the bottom half of the inning and four more in the fourth inning to take the lead.
 
Senior RHP Aaron Pinto (West Covina, Calif.), one of three Stony Brook relievers to shut down UMBC, earned his ninth save of the season and became the school's single-season leader in the category. He tossed 2.1 innings and allowed one hit and struck out four.  Senior LHP Teddy Rodliff (Quincy, Mass.) picked up the win and pitched 1.1 innings, while sophomore RHP Aaron Glickstein (Dix Hills, N.Y.) threw 2.2 innings.
 
Junior DH Michael Russell (Staten Island, N.Y.) delivered a two-run double in the fourth inning that scored senior 3B Bobby Honeyman (Massapequa, N.Y.) and senior LF Andruw Gazzola (Coram, N.Y.) and gave Stony Brook a 7-6 lead.
 
Turning Point
UMBC scored once in the first inning and five runs in the third to hold a 6-0 lead, but Stony Brook battled back with four runs in the third inning and four more in the fourth inning to take the lead for good. The Seawolves tacked on two more in the seventh inning and one in the eighth to cap the comeback.
 
Quoting Head Coach Matt Senk
"Despite falling behind after UMBC's big inning the guys hung in there. It was great job by Teddy Rodliff, Aaron Glickstein and Aaron Pinto to shut them down that allowed us to come back and not only tie the game, but end up with a big win. Congratulations to whole team and, of course, to Aaron Pinto of his record breaking save."
