Stony Brook Drops Series Opener at Delaware

NEWARK, Del. — Stony Brook softball dropped the series opener to Delaware, 5-1, on Friday evening in Newark. Naiah Ackerman was responsible for driving in the Seawolves' lone run of the contest.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Alyssa Costello singled with one out in the first after Ackerman worked a four-pitch walk, putting two runners on for the Seawolves in the opening frame. Delaware's Billie Kerwood escaped the inning by striking out the next two batters.
  • Gabrielle Maday surrendered a lead-off homer, but responded by retiring the next three hitters.
  • Delaware added two more runs on another homer in the second inning. Maday exited the contest after walking the next hitter, giving way to Crimson Rice, who stranded a pair of runners to finish the frame.
  • Kyra McFarland led off the third with a walk and then came around to score on Ackerman's single into center, getting Stony Brook on the board. Kerwood struck out the next three to strand Ackerman in scoring position and maintain a two-run cushion.
  • Delaware's offense got the run back, plus another, with its third home run of the game.
  • Stony Brook put a runner on in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but could not push across a run.
  • Kerwood finished what she started, retiring the side in order in the seventh to earn a series-opening victory over the Seawolves.
STATS AND NOTES
  • Ackerman drove in Stony Brook's lone run of the contest. She reached base three times in the game, drawing a pair of walks as well.
  • Costello registered Stony Brook's only other hit offensively. Her .404 batting average through 44 at-bats across 16 games this season is the team high.
  • Kerwood struck out eight and left seven runners on base. Stony Brook drew five walks.
QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Tough start to what we knew was going to be a challenging series for our young team. We didn't trade punches with them offensively as we are capable of doing, and that momentum was missing," head coach Megan T. Bryant said. "Defensively we played well, but need to step up the other two parts of our game tomorrow."

UP NEXT
Stony Brook and Delaware play game two of the series tomorrow, with first pitch slated for 3 pm from the Delaware Softball Diamond.
