VESTAL, N.Y. - Senior catcher Jason Agresti's three-run home run keyed a five-run outburst in the fifth inning and carried Binghamton baseball (11-25-1, 7-11 America East) to an 8-5 win over Stony Brook (23-19, 9-9 AE) in the series finale Sunday afternoon at the Bearcats Baseball Complex. 

Trailing 4-3, BU batted around in the fifth and scored five runs on six hits - the big blow coming off the bat of Agresti. Senior shortstop Paul Rufo led off the inning with a walk and went to third when junior left fielder Anthony Meduri caromed a shot up the middle off the Stony Brook pitcher and into right field. It was the third straight game that Meduri sent a hard-hit ball off a Seawolves pitcher. With runners at first and third and no out, Agresti sent a 2-1 pitch over the wall in right center for his first home run of the season. Ahead 6-4, BU kept up the attack with four more hits and two runs. Freshman second baseman Jake Evans brought in a run with an RBI single and senior center fielder CJ Krowiak plated the eighth run with a sacrifice fly to right. Eleven men batted and the first five reached base as BU bettered its run production from all of Saturday (DH) in just one inning.

After six innings, the Bearcats turned it over to junior reliever Robert Brown, who pitched the final 3.0 innings and notched his second save of the season. Brown struck out five and scattered three singles. He worked out of a dangerous jam in the seventh, thanks to a liner to second that Evans turned into a double play and an inning-ending strikeout.

Senior starter Jacob Wloczewski (W, 2-5) went 6.0 innings and allowed seven hits and four runs. Wloczewski struck out four. 

Evans went 2-for-3 with two RBI and seniors Luke Tevlin and Pat Britt each went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Rufo also had two hits and Krowiak added two RBI. 

Down 3-0 early, Evans got the Bearcats on the board in the bottom of the second with a bases-loaded RBI single through the right side. After a strikeout, Krowiak pushed across a second run with an RBI grounder. Stony Brook made it 4-2 with a run in the top of the fourth before freshman right fielder Andrew Eng doubled down the right field line to lead off the bottom of the fourth. After an Evans sacrifice, sophomore third baseman Greg Satriale scored Eng with an RBI groundout to bring BU to within a run, setting the stage for the fifth-inning fireworks.

Binghamton next plays a non-conference game Tuesday at St. Bonaventure before hosting Cornell Wednesday night.
