Baseball’s Season Comes to an End with Loss to Stony Brook

Game One Score: Stony Brook 3, UAlbany 2
 
Location: Joe Nathan Field in Stony Brook, N.Y. 
 
Pitchers of Record: Win – Jared Milch | Loss – Cregg Scherrer
 
Short Story: UAlbany held a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning but Stony Brook rallied to win 3-2 and eliminate the Great Danes from the postseason. 

Coach Jon Mueller: "You need to get 27 outs and unfortunately our defense escaped us late in the game and Stony Brook took advantage. It was a heavyweight battle with two guys on the mound pitching well and we came up a little short in the end. This is a tough group of guys and it is tough having to say goodbye to these seniors. They have done a lot for the school academically, in the community and on the field."

How it Happened 
  • Cregg Scherrer and Jared Milch were in a pitcher's duel in the first five innings, as neither pitcher allowed any runs and no more than three hits.
  • Stony Brook created the game's most dangerous chance in the first five innings when they had runners on first and second, via walk, with one out. Scherrer got the next two Seawolves' hitters to ground out to escape the jam.
  • UAlbany finally broke through with runners on second and third with one out. Brad Malm drove in both runners with a two-run single that gave UAlbany a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning.
  • After a scoreless seventh inning, Stony Brook had two runners on base with one out in the eighth inning. After a fly out, an error committed by Dolan Ocasal loaded the bases with two outs. Scherrer escaped another jam by getting Stanton Leuthner to ground out. 
  • After UAlbany went down in order in the ninth inning, Stony Brook rallied in the bottom half. The first-two Seawolves' hitters reached on a double and fielding error. Cole Durken followed with an RBI groundout. In the next at-bat, Brett Paulsen tied the game with an RBI single.
  • Scherrer produced one more out before John LaRocca sole second, uncontested. Evan Giordano then hit a walk-off single to right field that gave Stony Brook a 3-2 victory.
