Junior left-hander Trey Shaffer (2-0, 1.69) draws the pitching nod in the series opener, facing Seawolf southpaw Jared Milch (0-1, 1.64). Sophomore right-hander Grant Upton (1-0, 1.80) heads to the bump Saturday to oppose Stony Brook righty Sam Turcotte (0-1, 1.64). Southeastern has yet to announce a starting pitcher for the finale, but the Seawolves are slated to send out right-hander Josh O'Neill (0-0, 0.00).
 
Evan Giordano (.400), Brett Paulsen (.333) and Stanton Leuthner (.286) are Stony Brook's leading hitters. Leuthner owns the Seawolves' only home run while Shane Paradine has driven in a team-high three runs. Giordano and Leuthner are tied for the team lead with a pair of stolen bases each.
 
Stony Brook has dropped four in-a-row. Five of the Seawolves' six losses this season have been by two runs or less, including all three games at Clemson this past weekend.
 
The all-time series is tied, 3-3, with Southeastern taking 2-of-3 last season and Stony Brook winning 2-of-3 in 2008. All six games have been played in Hammond.
