Matt Senk, who led Stony Brook's surprising run to 2012 College World Series, announces retirement
STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) — Matt Senk, who led the Stony Brook baseball team on a surprise postseason run all the way to the 2012 College World Series, announced Thursday he would retire at the end of the season.
When Senk was hired in 1991, the Long Island school competed at the Division III level and had just six winning seasons since 1966. The Seawolves moved to Division I in 1999 and have made six NCAA Tournament appearances and won five America East regular-season titles and four conference tournament championships.
Senk has a career record of 967-692, making him one of 12 active Division I head coaches with at least 950 wins and the only one to do so at one program. He has led the Seawolves to 26 winning seasons and topped the 30-win mark 13 times.
His 2012 team won three straight NCAA regional elimination games, including the final over host Miami, and then won two of three against host LSU in super regionals to become the first team from the Northeast since 1987 to reach the CWS. Stony Brook went 0-2 in Omaha, Nebraska, and finished with a program-record and nation-leading 52 wins.

UCLA tacked on three additional runs in the ninth on a two-run single by Payton Brennan and RBI groundout from Bythewood.

But Tennessee pitcher Liam Doyle allowed a run to score on a wild pitch and Brayden Krenzel hit Wehiwa Aloy with a pitch to load the bases again for Maxwell's big blow. Loading the bases got the Vols in trouble again in the seventh. After a RBI double from Kuhio Aloy, Tennessee pitchers walked four consecutive batters, resulting in another two runs. Altogether, the Vols issued eight walks in the game. Advertisement Tennessee followed up last season's national title with a seventh-place finish in the SEC at 16-14, though finished 46-18 overall.

Duke took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on back-to-back homers by AJ Gracia and Ben Miller, but Murray State answered in the bottom of the frame with three runs beginning with Jonathan Hogart's leadoff home run. Both teams eventually traded five-run innings, but the Racers blew the game open with a nine-run seventh. The Blue Devils' Kyle Johnson and Racers' Isaac Silva each allowed six runs as starting pitchers.
