VESTAL, N.Y. — Evan Giordano blasted a pair of home runs, but the Stony Brook baseball team fell in a rain-shortened contest at the Binghamton Baseball Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The game was called after four and a half innings, with Binghamton up by a 12-5 scoreline. The two-hour rain delay called the contest.
Giordano led off the game, launching a 2-0 pitch to give the Seawolves an early advantage. After Binghamton had a three-run first, Giordano answered again, a three-run blast to make it 4-3 for Stony Brook.
The other run came for Stony Brook in the fifth via an RBI groundout by
Brett Paulsen, plating Giordano in the final half-inning of the day.
STATS AND NOTES

- Both Fox and Giordano recorded multi-hit games, totaling their 14th of the season that is tied with Shane Paradine for the team lead. They are both also in double digits, reaching base for the 10th consecutive game each. That's tied for the team best.
