The Stony Brook University baseball team took the field at brand-new Joe Nathan Field for the first time on Tuesday afternoon, according to Stony Brook Athletics.
The Seawolves will be ready to play games on the field as early as next week.
A tweeted picture of the players during a practice session shows the first time the players have played on a baseball field on Stony Brook University’s campus all year.
With the construction of the field going on during the spring semester, the Seawolves were forced to play their home games at Baseball Heaven in Yaphank, N.Y.

NEW YORK — Over the years, as Joe Nathan evolved into one of baseball’s top closers, he has spoken glowingly of Mariano Rivera.
Nathan is as impressed with Rivera’s classy demeanor as he his with his killer cut fastball and World Series rings with the Yankees. As it turns out, Rivera, considered by many to be baseball’s greatest closer, has a lot of respect for Nathan.
Speaking about Nathan’s return to Minnesota after missing all of last year due to elbow surgery, Rivera had nothing but high praise on Wednesday.
“I love him, I love him,” said Rivera, whose 562 saves trail only Trevor Hoffman’s 601. “Joe is a great guy, a great human being, a great athlete. Seeing him back out there, battling out there, I like that. Joe respects the game, he respects players. He does what is right for baseball. The times I’ve talked with him have always been great.”

La Velle E. Neal III - Star Tribune:
Joe Nathan and Matt Capps hope to team up and provide a mighty one-two punch out of the Twins bullpen.
FORT MYERS, FLA. - If the Twins are clinging to a lead in the first game of a series, the ball is expected to go to righthander Joe Nathan, who is on track to being the closer on Opening Day just a year after Tommy John elbow surgery.
If the Twins are in the same situation the next night, Nathan is expected to get the ball again.
But if there is a third consecutive night of white-knuckle baseball, Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson probably will pick up the phone to the bullpen and ask for righthander Matt Capps.
