Early Offense Helps Seawolves Complete Sweep of UMBC

STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Stony Brook baseball team finished off a three-game sweep of UMBC on Sunday afternoon, holding off a Retreiver comeback to win the finale 8-5.
 
Junior Michael Wilson (Colonia, N.J.) had his second four-RBI game of the weekend, recording a pair of hits and driving in four runs to help cushion senior Bret Clarke (Royersford, Pa.) on the hill, who went 6.1 innings and allowed just one run.
 
SENK'S REACTION
"Great job by the team today to close out the conference opening series with a sweep. The weekend was highlighted by solid starting pitching, strong team performances both offensively and defensively and Individually worth noting was Sam Turcotte's work out of the bullpen in our game one and game three wins"
 
SCORING SUMMARY
  • Senior Brandon Alamo (Artesia, Calif.) drove in the first of his two runs on a grounder to first, allowing the Seawolves to get on the board first.
  • After UMBC knotted the game with a triple to right-center, Stony Brook rattled off seven unanswered to build an 8-1 lead. Wilson had a two-run triple in the third and two-run single in the sixth to drive in four of the seven.
  • Alamo put a single in the hole on the right side and junior Nick Grande (Smithtown, N.Y.) had a two-run double to total the seven unanswered.
  • The Retrievers rallied with four in the eighth off a bases-loaded walk and pair of run-scoring singles but would only be able to cut the lead to five. 
STATS AND NOTES
  • Wilson finished the weekend with nine of Stony Brook's 21 RBI, hitting .545 in the process.
  • Grande led the Seawolves at the plate on the weekend, however, batting .583 with seven hits in 12 at bats. He chipped in four doubles, three RBI and a pair of stolen bases.
  • This is Stony Brook's first three-game sweep against a conference opponent since they took all three from Maine in April of 2017.
  • Stony Brook's last conference opening three-game sweep was in 2014, when they took down UAlbany in all three contests.
  • Junior Sam Turcotte (Toronto, Ontario) finished the weekend throwing 3.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen, earning a win and a save.
  • The top three in the Seawolves batting order this weekend (Grande, Hamilton, Wilson) combined to hit .543 on the weekend with six doubles and 6 RBI.
