STONY BROOK, N.Y. (Interstat) — Dylan Henshaw pitched four no-hit innings and the Stony Brook Seawolves erupted for 23 runs on 18 hits Saturday afternoon at Joe Nathan Field, routing the Hofstra Pride 23-0 in a Colonial Athletic Association contest.

The game was virtually decided in the first two innings as Stony Brook pounded out 20 runs on 13 hits through two frames, with 16 of those runs crossing the plate in a monstrous bottom of the second. The Seawolves sent 20 batters to the plate in that inning alone, collecting 10 hits, drawing four walks and being hit by a pitch once.

Chanz Doughty got the scoring started in the first with a two-run home run to center field, driving in Nick Zampieron after Zampieron was hit by a pitch. Scott Gell followed with an RBI double, John Pilla added a run-scoring single and Mike Cervoni roped an RBI single to left, giving Stony Brook a 5-0 lead. Two errors on the same play allowed two more runs to score, pushing the advantage to 7-0 after one.

The second inning was a parade of hits and walks. Chris Carson homered to right field for two runs, plating Doughty. After singles by Gell and Mike Villani, James Schaffer delivered a two-run single, John Pilla and Mike Cervoni each singled, and Nick Zampieron doubled down the right-field line for two more RBIs. Nicholas Dromboski singled in a run, Doughty singled in another, and a walk to Gell forced in a run. Villani walked to force in another, James Schaffer hit a sacrifice fly, Cervoni singled for an RBI, and Zampieron singled for another. Dromboski then crushed a three-run home run to right field, capping the 16-run outburst and making the score 23-0.

Hofstra managed only one hit in the game, a fifth-inning single by Michael Craig off reliever Nicholas Rizzo. The Pride’s pitching staff used five arms, but only two—Joseph Curreri and Maddon McArthur—escaped without allowing a run. Curreri struck out three over two hitless innings, and McArthur worked a scoreless fifth. Starter Brayden Gregg did not record an out before being pulled.

Henshaw, the game’s top star, threw four innings, struck out two and did not allow a hit or a run, retiring 12 of the 13 batters he faced. He walked one. The outing was a bounce-back after Henshaw gave up two earned runs in 1 2/3 innings against Northeastern on May 10 and two earned runs in four innings against Massachusetts-Lowell on May 3.

Dromboski finished 2 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs, including the three-run blast in the second. Doughty went 3 for 5 with a home run and three RBIs. Nick Zampieron was 2 for 3 with three RBIs, Scott Gell went 2 for 2 with two RBIs, and Chris Carson drove in two runs with his homer. Matthew Canizares pitched a scoreless seventh inning for Stony Brook.

The win improved Stony Brook to 21-30 overall and avoided a three-game sweep after Hofstra won the first two games of the series, 8-1 on Friday and 4-0 on Thursday. Hofstra fell to 20-26. The Pride had entered the series having won four of their previous five games, including a 7-2 win over Monmouth on May 8 and an 8-0 shutout of Towson on May 3.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Hofstra 6, Stony Brook 5. Interstat’s ELO system gave Stony Brook a 55.60 percent probability to win.
