COACH BRYANT'S THOUGHTS
"It was a great weekend for us, and it's exciting to see us put all three elements together – pitching, offense, and defense more consistently. We are playing with composure and confidence and making big plays when they are needed."
 
GAME 1: STONY BROOK 6, FAIRFIELD 1

• The Seawolves wasted no time in the top of the first with a five-run inning. The inning started after Jourdin Hering (Federal Way, Wash.) walked, Katelyn Corr (Suffield, Conn.) singled, and Melissa Rahrich walked to load the bases. Irene Rivera (Sylmar, Calif.) brought home Hering on a sac fly making it 1-0.
• After the sac fly by Rivera which advanced Corr to third, Taylor Pechin (Harrington, Del.) brought home Corr on another sac fly making it 2-0.
• After Lindsey Osmer (Martinez, Calif.) walked, Riley Craig (Thornton, Colo.) came up to bat and hit a foul ball on the first base side that would've been the last out of the inning, but it was dropped. Craig made Fairfield pay for that error hitting a three-run homer driving in Corr and Osmer to make it 5-0.
• Fairfield got its lone run in the bottom of the second after a leadoff double came around to score on an RBI single making it 5-1.
• Stony Brook added its last run of the game in the top of the seventh after Rahrich singled, Rivera walked, and Chloe Vangorder (Harvey's Lake, Pa.) brought home Rahrich on a RBI double.
