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.
