STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The Stony Brook baseball team will look to regroup Tuesday after a tough doubleheader at frigid Joe Nathan Field.
UMass swept the twin bill, 9-4 and 3-1, on Sunday.
The games were seven and five innings, respectively — the latter because of darkness.
Stony Brook dropped to 2-3.
In Game 1, starter
Jared Milch was tagged for four first-inning runs and the Seawolves never climbed out of the hole.
Trailing 7-3 in the sixth,
John LaRocca's two-out, bases-loaded RBI single pulled Stony Brook within three runs. However, UMass recovered, coaxing an inning-ending flyout from
Chris Hamilton.
In Game 2, starter
Brian Herrmann limited the Minutemen to three runs in five innings.
Trailing 2-1 in the fourth,
Shane Paradine produced a leadoff double but ultimately was stranded at third base.
Stony Brook returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Fordham at 2 p.m.
