Hofstra Blanks Stony Brook Behind Martinez, Kennedy For Sixth Straight Win

Stony Brook, NY - Carlos Martinez and Russell Hunter combined on a six-hit shutout, and Will Kennedy drove in two runs as Hofstra blanked Stony Brook, 4-0, Saturday at Joe Nathan Field. The shutout was the Pride's first of the season.

Kennedy also drove in Hofstra's second run with a seventh inning sacrifice fly. Matt Pelcher also had an RBI in the inning with a single up the middle. Steve Harrington, who was 3-4 on the day, knocked in the final run with a double in the eighth.
