Stony Brook Ends Hartford's Season in Heartbreaker

THE BASICS:

RESULT: No. 3 Stony Brook 3, No. 2 Hartford 2
LOCATION: LeLacheur Park (Lowell, Mass.)
RECORDS: Hartford (37-18), Stony Brook (27-26)

WP: Jake Wloczewski (3-0); LP: John LaRossa (2-3)

THE LEAD:
Jeremy Giles' single in the bottom of the ninth gave Stony Brook a 3-2, walk-off victory over the Hartford baseball team on Friday. The loss ends the Hawks' season with an overall record of 37-18, a new school record for victories.
 
Aaron Wilson went 3-for-5 in his final game for the Hawks, while fellow senior Chris DelDebbio went 2-for-4 with an RBI and sophomore Ben Bengtson added a 2-for-4 game as well. John LaRossa was carded with the loss out of the bullpen, while senior Brian Murphy tossed six shutout innings in his final start for Hartford.
 
Aaron Pinto picked up the win out of the pen with three scoreless frames, while Casey Baker delivered two of the Seawolves' six hits of the game. SBU drew 11 walks in the loss to Hartford's one.
 
Hartford's senior class of DelDebbio, Wilson, Murphy, Kyle Gauthier, Sam McKay, Joe Roberti, Billy Walker, Jacob Mellin and Justin Robarge concluded their careers with 108 wins, the most of any four-year seniors in program history.
 
HOW THEY SCORED:
• Hartford took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, as Erik Ostberg ripped a double to left center, moved to second on a passed ball, then came in to score on Bengtson's infield single.
• Murphy was able to work his way out of danger on several occasions, stranding two on base in the second and three on base in the third, to maintain the lead going to the fifth.
• The Hawks added to their lead in the top of that frame, as Wilson delivered a one-out triple, his sixth of the year, and two batters later came in on DelDebbio's spinning single on the infield to make it 2-0.
• Murphy again got out of a jam in the fifth, inducing a 6-4-3 double play with runners at the corners to end the stanza.
• The score remained at 2-0 into the seventh, when Stony Brook cracked the scoreboard on a wild pitch to make it 2-1.
• After a scoreless eighth, the Seawolves took advantage of a pair of defensive miscues on bunts in the ninth to push across the winning runs, concluding with Giles' walk-off single.
