South Orange, N.J. - Freshman Adam Brown (Melville, N.Y.) hurled a six-hitter and the Stony Brook University baseball team used a three-run second on its way to a 4-2 win over Seton Hall in its final game of the Seton Hall Strike Out Cancer Tournament on Sunday afternoon at Owen T. Carroll Field. SBU has now won three of its last four and is 5-8 on the season.
Brown allowed one earned run and walked just two. Senior Robert Dyer (Selden, N.Y.) had three hits to lead the Seawolves, while freshman Travis Jankowski (Lancaster, Pa.) chipped in with two hits and an RBI.
Dyer sparked the three-run second as he singled to lead off and moved to second on single from junior Stephen Marino (Lake Grove, N.Y.). FreshmanMaxx Tissenbaum (Toronto, Ontario) then sacrificed the runners to second and third. But senior Justin Echevarria (Uniondale, N.Y.) followed with a grounder to third for the second out.
But Jankowski then reached on an infield single to drive in Dyer before sophomore Sal Intagliata (Franklin Square, N.Y.) drilled a two-run double to left-center to put the Seawolves up 3-0. SBU tacked on a run in the third on a Tissenbaum RBI groundout.
Brown, meanwhile, cruised through the first four innings before the Pirates got on the board in the fifth on a Ryan Sullivan RBI single. But Brown did not allow a runner past first over the next three innings as Stony Brook headed to the ninth with a two-run lead.

Frank Esposito walked with one out in the Seton Hall ninth and then scored on a triple from Michael Betz. But Brown struck out Sean Gusrang for the second out and then got a Giuseppe Papaccio on a grounder to short to end the game.
It is the first collegiate win for Brown (1-2), who struck out three. Jon Prosinski took the loss for the Pirates, allowing four runs on five hits in 2.0 innings.
The Seawolves return to action on Wednesday, traveling to take on Fordham. Game time is set for 3 p.m.
