Stony Brook beat Maine two out of three this weekend to improve to 27-15 on the season. They won the middle game 11-3. Brandon McNitt recorded his fifth win of the season by throwing six innings, allowing three runs and striking out seven. The offense scored five in the first, three in the second and one in the third to put the game on ice. Casey Baker went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored, and Cole Peragine added two hits, three RBI and one run scored.
They won the decisive game 4-1 thanks to a three-run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning, thanks to back-to-back run-scoring triples by Peragine and Baker. Bryan Tatleman improved to 4-0 on the season with the win by throwing 2.1 shutout innings in relief.
They will take on NYIT on Wednesday.
Hofstra lost two of three this weekend to Northeastern and fell to 18-20 on the season. They won the middle game 10-8 thanks to Kenny Jackson’s two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to snap an 8-8 tie. They had been down 5-1 in the third inning also.

NYIT had a rough trip to Hawaii, despite having a more enjoyable weekend than most of us on Long Island. They were swept by a combined score of 43-2. Perhaps it was jet-lag, but the team did not show up to play and fall to 4-40 on the season. In the first game, they lost 17-0, and made three errors while recording one hit.
They will travel to Iona tomorrow.
