The Stony Brook baseball team was not able to get it done in its series finale, dropping the final match of a three-game set at Old Dominion in Norfolk, Virginia on March 13.

Stanton Leuthner and Derek Yalon each led the Seawolves with a pair of hits, with Yalon recording a pair of RBI, including a fourth-inning home run. David Alleva recorded his first collegiate RBI, lacing a double to right before Yalon’s run-scoring single gave Stony Brook an early advantage. Leuthner added a third-inning double to score Brett Paulsen in the third, then the Seawolves added two more in the fifth with a Cole Durkan RBI single and Stanton scoring on a wild pitch one batter later.

STATS AND NOTES

  • Leuthner has increased his on-base streak to 14 games to start the season after his 2-for-3 effort.
  • Yalon’s homer is also the first of his collegiate career, driving in RBI No. 20 in his third Stony Brook season.
  • Shane Paradine has recorded a hit in seven consecutive.
  • Stony Brook also worked a season-high seven walks.
