LAKE CHARLES, La. — The Stony Brook baseball's teams bats were held quiet in Sunday's series finale at McNeese State as the Seawolves could only muster one run on four hits in a 4-1 defeat at the Cowboys.
The lone scoring from the Seawolves came in the sixth, when
Idris Carter launched his first career home run.
McNeese State's four runs all came in the third, as a pair of run-scoring doubles accounted for three of the four scores. An RBI single finished off the scoring.
The Seawolves bullpen came on strong to keep the host's offense at bay, throwing six scoreless innings in a stretch punctuated by the collegiate debut of
John Kiss.
STATS AND NOTES
- With another hit today, Stanton Leuthner finished a 5-for-12 weekend, hitting .417 to lead Stony Brook.
- Carter's home run was Stony Brook's second of the weekend, backing up Evan Giordano's from Saturday.
- Kiss' first-career outing came to close the game, throwing 1.1 scoreless and striking out two.
- Brandon Lashley (two innings), Brendan Patterman (1.2 innings), Kyle Johnson (one inning) and Kiss all combined to throw the six scoreless.
QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"If not for allowing the two big innings to McNeese in games one and three and our lack of timely hitting, this weekend's result could have been much better. Credit to McNeese for doing what was needed to win the series. That being said, we will regroup this week by looking to improve all areas of our game in preparation for the challenge of a quality USF club next weekend." - head coach
Matt Senk.
UP NEXT
The Seawolves head back south next weekend, taking on 2021 NCAA Super Regional participant South Florida in a three-game set in Tampa.
