FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Stony Brook baseball team was not able to overcome a hot-hitting Arkansas team in the series finale, falling on Saturday afternoon 15-7 to the Razorbacks.

Senior Sean Buckhout (West Nyack, N.Y.) recorded a team-high three hits on the afternoon, going 3-for-5 to aid the Seawolves offensive cause but Stony Brook was not able to continue its defensive successes from the first two days after holding the Razorbacks to seven runs in 18 innings of play Friday.

SENK'S REACTION
"Despite our fast start today we struggled to keep Arkansas from having several big innings that took us out of contention. We have learned quite a bit about ourselves these first three weekends and we're very optimistic about our chances over the remaining three months of the season"
 
SCORING SUMMARY

• Stony Brook came quickly out of the gates, with junior Chris Hamilton (Schenectady, N.Y.) and Buckhout putting the Seawolves ahead 2-0. Hamilton's sacrifice fly into center allowed junior Nick Grande (Smithtown, N.Y.) to score, then Buckhout singled into right to make it 2-0.
• Arkansas responded with four in the bottom half of the first off a pair of singles, a double and RBI groundout to make it 4-2 Razorbacks.
• The Seawolves got one back in the fourth, when junior Michael Wilson (Colonia, N.J.) drew a walk with the bases loaded to cut the lead in half.
• Powered by four straight home runs in the middle innings, Arkansas scored 10 unanswered to go out to a 14-3 lead.
• Sophomore John Tuccillo (Clinton Corners, N.Y.) laced a double down the left field line to score a pair in the ninth and end the unanswered streak for the Razorbacks.
• Seniors Brandon Janofsky (Jackson, N.J.) and Dylan Resk (Ardsley, N.Y.) plated two more on a groundout and single, respectively, to bring the game to its final scoreline.

NOTES 

• Resk and Grande both recorded their second multi-hit nights of the season, combining for five today. Grande had three in game two of the FIU series, while Resk chipped in two in the season opener.
• Buckhout and Wilson added multi-hit nights, chipping in two apiece as Stony Brook finished with 10 on the night.
• The Seawolves recorded multiple hits for the fourth time this season, with the season high being 14 in the season opener. Stony Brook's seven runs tie the team's second-highest output on the year.
• With his double in the ninth, Tuccillo finished the weekend with a hit in all three games. He hit .333 on the weekend.
