STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Stony Brook University softball team dropped a pair of games to Delaware on Friday afternoon at University Field. Mia Haynes pitched well in game one, striking out eight batters, but came up on the short end of the decision, while the team's late rally in game two came up just short.

GAME ONE: DELAWARE 3, STONY BROOK 1

• The Blue Hens opened the scoring in the first inning, starting things with a walk, a single and a double that brought two runners around to score.
• Stony Brook answered in the third inning, though one run was cut down at the plate. Julianna Sanzone notched an RBI single that scored Alyssa Costello, pulling the Seawolves within one run.
• The Blue Hens added an insurance run in the fifth courtesy of a two-out single into left.
• Delaware's Winburn retired the side in order in the fourth and fifth innings, and the first two hitters in the sixth, before Naiah Ackerman doubled into the gap to bring the tying run to the plate, but nothing came of it for Stony Brook.
• The Seawolves were set down 1-2-3 in the seventh, falling in game one.

• Delaware started fast in game two, putting up a four spot in the first inning. A two-run homer, compounded with an error that led to two more runs, put the Blue Hens ahead 4-0 early on.
• The Seawolves pushed across a run after some small ball, with Costello singling home Alicia Orosco after a sacrifice bunt by Kyra McFarland.
• The Blue Hens added two more runs in the second, taking a five-run lead.
• Stony Brook scratched across another run in the home half on a Corinne Badger single through the left side. The Seawolves stranded a pair of runners in scoring position to end the frame.

• After being held scoreless in the fourth, Stony Brook added a run in the fifth and sixth innings, trailing 9-5 heading into the seventh.
