Big Second Inning Allows Stony Brook to Secure Series Victory

STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Stony Brook baseball team outlasted Binghamton on Sunday morning, earning its third series win in America East play this season with a 6-3 victory in the rubber game of the three-game set between the SUNY schools.
 
Senior Bret Clarke (Royersford, Pa.) threw a quality start, allowing three earned over seven innings of play to keep Stony Brook ahead and junior Sam Turcotte (Toronto, Ontario) slammed the door with a two-inning save.
 
SENK'S REACTION
"The guys put together a terrific overall game today to pick up the series win. Solid pitching and defense, offensive execution and timely hitting topped off with aggressive base running was the game plan to a T"
 
SCORING SUMMARY
  • The second inning was the big one for both teams, as seven of the nine runs were scored during the frame.
  • Stony Brook started it with four in the top half. Senior Dylan Resk (Ardsley, N.Y.) laced a single to left to give the Seawolves the early lead.
  • Back to back RBI doubles put Stony Brook up four, as senior Brandon Janofsky (Jackson, N.J.) and junior Nick Grande (Smithtown, N.Y.) drove two-base hits down the foul line
  • It took one swing for Binghamton to cut the lead to one as a three-run home run went over the left-field fence.
