Stony Brook’s Colleen Matthes and Casey Jacobs combined to pitch seven excellent innings in the win Saturday over Holy Cross.

The Seawolves jumped ahead early, scoring three runs in the second inning. Molly Kestranek doubled and scored on a groundout by Katelyn O’Donnel. Later on in the inning, Vicki Kavitsky knocked a two run homer, giving the Seawolves a 3-0 lead.

In the top of the third, Matthes got into some trouble, allowing three runs to tie up the game. The Seawolves struck back, however, scoring three more in the bottom of the third on a wild pitch, a home run by Marissa Fleury, and a single by Kendall Blumenthal.

Matthes was replaced by Jacobs in the fourth after pitching to two batters. She gave up a home run and a single, but Jacobs was able to come in and limit the damage. Jacobs pitched the final four innings, allowing only one hit and no runs in picking up the save. The final score was 6-4.
