Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra University baseball team is back at home this weekend against Long Island rival Stony Brook in a three-game Colonial Athletic Association series beginning Friday at 2 p.m. The series continues Saturday and Sunday with games at 1 p.m. This marks the first meeting between the two programs as conference foes.

Evan Giordano leads the Seawolves with a .374 average, five home runs, and 31 RBIs. JT Raab has a 2-0 record in eight appearances on the mound, while Josh O'Neil and Brandon Lashley also have two wins apiece.
