Albany, N.Y. - William Carmona earned a save in game one and hit a three-run homer in the night cap to lead Stony Brook to a doubleheader sweep of UAlbany in America East Conference baseball action on Saturday afternoon at Varsity Field. The Seawolves posted a 3-2 victory in the early contest before recording a 10-2 win in the second game.

            In game one, UAlbany took a 2-0 lead in the third inning. UAlbany scored its first run in the second inning, as centerfielder Brendan Rowland reached on an error and came home on an RBI single by Pete DiResta.

The Seawolves struck again in the sixth to tie the game, getting back-to-back singles to start the inning, while Stephen Marino drove in Pat Cantwell with a sacrifice fly. The game remained knotted until the ninth, as Cantwell knocked a double into right field to score Travis Jankowski.
