Back to .500


Matt Miceli Celebrates | @StonyBrookBASE

The Stony Brook baseball team completed a much needed three game series sweep this weekend over the Elon Phoenix. With the win Stony Brook was able to even their record to 15-15 on the season and have now won 2 of their last 3 series.

The Sea Wolves bats exploded this weekend scoring 33 runs across the three games, which was a stark contrast to last weekend where they dropped 3 in a row. Stony Brook has been winning with their bats recently. They were shut down by William & Mary in a double header on March 22nd, scoring just a single run in each game. Since then they have found their power stroke. The Wolves have now scored 82 runs in the past 9 games.

This past weekend showcased the depth of the offense as it seemed every hitter contributed to the scoring. On Sunday 5 different players drove in a run, while Saturday's game was led by Matt Brown-Eiring and his 4-5 effort with a home run and 5 RBI. That followed Friday's 18 run dominating performance where 9 different players drove in a run which included long balls from Chris Carson and Joseph Delanzo.

Stony Brook is rolling right now and the next hurdle is to get over .500 and keep piling up the wins. The Sea Wolves head to the road for the next 4 games with a one game set this week up against Army before traveling to Campbell for next weekend's three game series.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
