The Stony Brook University baseball team extended their winning streak to nine games with a victory over Fairfield University on Wednesday, 9-0.
The Seawolves are now 28-9 on the season.
Junior RHP Evan Stecko-Haley (1-0) secured the victory for the Seawolves, throwing six shut out innings and let his teammates secure the rest. He only gave up two hits, struck out six and did not allow a walk.
Stony Brook struck early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning off of an RBI single from senior infielder Stephen Marino (Lake Grove, N.Y.). The Seawolves continued to press their advantage in the third inning, tagging on three more runs. The highlight of the inning was a two-run double off the bat of sophomore infielder Maxx Tissenbaum (Toronto, Ontario).
Marino contributed once again in the fifth inning, brining in sophomore infielder William Carmona (Hempstead, N.Y.) with a sac fly. Carmona was 3 for 4 for the game with three runs. The sixth inning brought even more success as freshman infielder Kevin Courtney (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) hit an RBI double and later scored on a wild pitch. The Seawolves lead 7-0.
The last of the scoring came in the eighth inning as Courtney and junior catcher Pat Cantwell (West Islip, N.Y.) each had an RBI double.
The Seawolves, who lead the America East, will host Binghamton University over the weekend in a three game series.
