STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The rivals who met in the last America East title game played to a draw this weekend at Joe Nathan Field.

Nick DeGennaro pitched six scoreless innings in the finale and Stony Brook earned a split of Sunday's doubleheader and the four-game series with a 5-1 win in the nightcap.

Binghamton had rallied for a 6-2 victory in Game 1 on Sunday.

In the second game, Stony Brook took command with a four-run second that included Stanton Leuthner's RBI single, Evan Giordano's run-scoring groundout and Chris Hamilton's two-run double. Hamilton added another RBI double two innings later.

"I just had to get back to being myself, being more aggressive," Hamilton said.

DeGennaro limited the Bearcats to four hits and three walks in six run-free innings. He tossed 97 pitches.

"We were really working on getting to the lower part of the zone, where you can't really get hurt," DeGennaro said. "Last week against NJIT I left a lot of balls up and they were able to hit the ball out of the park a lot."

Making his second career appearance, left-hander Mark Alday took over for DeGennaro to open the seventh. Alday surrendered a run in the frame, but stranded the bases loaded with a strikeout of Justin Drpich.

Then, in the eighth, freshman Andrew Ledbetter made his collegiate pitching debut. And after consecutively walking a pair of batters with one out, Ledbetter escaped the jam to preserve a four-run lead.

Brian Morrisey then closed out the game with a scoreless ninth in his first appearance since April 10.

In Game 1, Evan Fox's RBI single in the third staked the Seawolves to a 2-0 advantage. However, Binghamton answered with three runs in the fifth to take the lead. Stony Brook committed three errors in the opener.

The four-game series split allowed Stony Brook to maintain a sizable lead in America East. The Seawolves improved to 18-6 in conference play.
