The top-seeded University of Maine baseball team will limp into the America East Tournament with four straight conference losses after being swept by a Hartford team that was out of the playoff picture on Thursday morning but earned the sixth and final seed with its three wins over the Black Bears at Fiondela Field in West Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford beat the Black Bears 13-8 on Thursday and 11-9 on Friday before capping the series with a 7-2 triumph on Saturday. It was the first time this season UMaine had been swept. UMaine will share the league’s regular season title with Stony Brook, which took two of three from defending tournament champ the New Jersey Institute of Technology to finish with an identical 21-9 conference record. It is UMaine’s first regular season title since 2013 and just its second since 2002. Stony Brook is ineligible to play in the tournament due to a league bylaw that prohibits schools who are leaving the conference from participating in the league championships.
