Starting pitcher for Hofstra, Garrick Murray, delivered an impressive performance, earning his second win of the season (2-1).

His performance not only highlighted his pitching capabilities but also served as a critical anchor in Hofstra’s overall game strategy, helping to maintain a lead as the game progressed.
Stony Brook’s Juan Reyes, unfortunately, did not have the same success on the mound, suffering the loss of the game to bring his record to 1-3.
