CHARLESTON, S.C. — Senior
Shane Paradine launched his second home run of the season and 10th of his career but the Stony Brook baseball offense would only muster one more run as their five game winning-streak was halted after falling 10-3 to College of Charleston on Friday night at The Ballpark at Patriots Point.
The Seawolves (5-10, 0-1 CAA) sent out graduate Jared Bellissimo to make his team-high fifth start of the season. The left-hander allowed four earned runs, five hits, and struck out two batters over his 4.0 innings on the bump.
After the Cougars (12-5, 3-1 CAA) struck first by launching a home run to left field in the bottom half of the second, Stony Brook would respond right back with a run of their own in the third inning. Sophomore Matt Miceli started the inning by drawing a hit-by-pitch and then advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Junior Evan Fox followed by extending his on-base streak to 14 games to begin the season by driving in Miceli on a screamer to left field, tying the game at 1-1.
But, College of Charleston would go on to take the lead in the fourth by scoring a run and then would tack on eight runs in the fifth inning to take control of the game.
In the next half inning, Fox would lead the inning off by reaching on a walk and then came around the bases following the Paradine home run, making the score 10-3.
Stony Brook gave the ball to freshman Sadier Vicioso to finish off the game and make his third appearance of the season. The left-hander produced his most dominant outing of the season by going a career-best 3.1 innings, punching out a career-high three batters, and did not allow a run.
