Written by Jim Ferchland The Stony Brook Seawolves (15-11, 8-2) and the UMBC Retrievers (14-12, 4-4) entered Saturday’s matchup at Joe Nathan Field at the top of the America East Standings. Stony Brook remained hot keeping their five-game winning streak alive with big regards to senior second baseman Rob Chavarria who came through clutch with walk-off single to left field to defeat UMBC 6-5.

Stony Brook Tops Sacred Heart 8-4
Written by Jim Ferchland Photo Credit: Jim Ferchland The Stony Brook Seawolves have struggled 18 games into the season–as they sit at 8-10. However, the Sacred Heart Pioneers have an abundance of work to do as they sit at the bottom of the standings at 1-14.

Stony Brook’s junior right-handed pitcher Tim Knesik made his fifth start on the mound today.
