Seawolves Edged Out By Delaware in Series Finale

NEWARK, Del. — Stony Brook softball lost to Delaware, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon. The Seawolves moved to 2-4 in CAA play, suffering a sweep at the hands of the Blue Hens.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Delaware struck first in the opening frame, but scored just once and stranded the bases loaded. Crimson Rice allowed a two-out single that scored a run, then after an error and a walk, she produced a ground ball to escape an early jam.
  • Madelyn Stepski led off the second inning with a triple, scoring later in the inning when Emma Scheitinger drove her in.
  • Stony Brook was poised to tack on more in the third inning, but Delaware turned to Billie Kerwood for the third straight day. Kerwood stymied the Seawolves' offense for the third time in as many days.
  • Entering with runners on the corners and nobody out, Kerwood walked Naiah Ackerman on four pitches to dig a deeper hole. The Seawolves couldn't capitalize however, as a ground ball forced out the lead runner at the plate and the next two hitters were punched out by Kerwood to leave the bases juiced.
  • Kerwood kept Stony Brook's offense at bay, striking out nine of the next 12 hitters she faced and giving her offense a chance to take a lead.
  • The Blue Hens would gain an advantage in the scoring column in the bottom of the sixth after a lead-off double and a single through the middle.
  • Gabrielle Maday, who re-entered to replace Rice after the double, recorded all three outs in the sixth inning and limited the damage to just the one run.
  • Kyra McFarland and Ackerman both hit safely with Stony Brook down to its final out in the contest, but Kerwood notched her 11th strikeout to strand the tying and go-ahead runs on base and secure the sweep.
STATS AND NOTES
  • Rice was saddled with the loss, scattering four hits over five-plus innings of work. She allowed two earned runs, walked a pair and did not record a strikeout.
  • Stony Brook's offense left eight runners on base and finished 2-11 (.182) with runners on base and 0-6 with runners in scoring position.
  • Kerwood worked five innings out of the bullpen, facing 20 hitters and registering 11 strikeouts. She earned the win, her third of the weekend.
  • McFarland notched a pair of hits, her team-leading ninth multi-hit game of the season.
  • Scheitinger was responsible for driving in Stony Brook's lone run. It was her fourth run batted in of the season.

Stony Brook heads home to start a five-gave home stand, beginning with a Tuesday matinee against Seton Hall. The Seawolves and Pirates meet for the third straight season. First pitch is set for 2 pm on Tuesday, March 18 from University Field, with the contest streaming on FloCollege.
