hit by William Carmona to make it 2-0. Courtney (3 for 3) belted
a leadoff home run in the fifth to extend SBU’s lead to 3-0. The

scored on a base hit by Mason Katz as LSU edged Stony Brook at
Alex Box Stadium. Kevin Gausman (12-1) retired the Seawolves
(50-13) in order in the top of the 12th to earn the victory.
Both Moore (2 for 3) and Katz (2 for 5) homered in extra innings
to extend the game for the Tigers (47-16). Sal Intagliata (2 for
5) had a two-run homer in the top of the second to give the
Seawolves the early lead. Ty Ross had a RBI groundout in the
seventh to put the Tigers on the board. JaCoby Jones (2 for 5)
belted a leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth to even the
score at 2. Steven Goldstein went deep in the top of the 10th
for SBU, but LSU answered in the bottom of the frame. With two

Goldstein overran. After a couple more foul balls, Moore homered
to make it a 3-3 deadlock. Travis Jankowski (3 for 6) had a
leadoff single in the top of the 11th and came in on a shallow
sacrifice fly by Kevin Krause to give the visitors a 4-3 lead.
Katz responded with a leadoff dinger in the bottom of the frame.
The Tigers put a pair on, but could not score again as the game
was suspended after 11 due to rain. Brandon McNitt (7 IP, 3 H, 1
UE, 2 BB, 3 K) was brilliant in his start for Stony Brook.
