Baseball Rally vs. Northeastern Comes Up Short

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team (13-38, 6-16 CAA) scored three runs in the ninth in an attempt to rally late vs. Northeastern (25-26, 11-11 CAA), but was short in a 6-4 defeat.
 
Down five in the ninth, a Jack Rotteveel two-run triple brought the tying run on deck.  Towson got closer on a Trey Martinez sacrifice fly, but the Tigers rally came up short.
 
Key Stats:
  • Jack Rotteveel finished the day 1-for-4 with his triple, a run and two RBI.  Each Javon Fields, going 2-for-4, and Zach Piazza, off a 1-for-3 day plus a walk, reached base twice, with Fields scoring a run.
  • The loss went to Dallas Repine (1-5), who had three runs in 1.2 innings.  Matt Watters pitched 1.1 scoreless, Oluwasayo Kintunde had five innings thrown with three unearned runs while John Cranston threw a perfect ninth.
  • For Northeastern, Scott Holzwasser finished 1-for-3 with a run, an RBI and two walks.  David Stiehl (6-4) got the win, throwing six innings in his start with a run and six strikeouts, with Brandon Dufault picking up his third save, pitching three frames with three runs, one earned.
How it Happened:
  • Northeastern got on the board first in the top of the second.  After the Huskies got the bases full with one out, a fielder's choice by Jake Rosen allowed a run to score.  The Huskies took advantage of some free passes and led 3-0.
  • Towson got its first hits in the bottom of the fourth, piecing together a Javon Fields leadoff triple and a Brad Powers infield single to second to put the Tigers within two at 3-1 Northeastern.
  • Oluwasayo Kintunde entered for Towson and kept Northwestern down.  In the top of the seventh, Northeastern brought two runs home off a couple of errors.  Next inning, NU added another error-assisted run to go up 6-1.
  • Towson put together a final rally in the bottom of the ninth, beginning with a Richard Miller single and Noah Cabrera reaching on an error.  Jack Rotteveel pounded the ball into the left-center gap to score both runners.  Trey Martinez brought in Rotteveel on a sacrifice fly two batters later, but Towson's rally came up short in a 6-4 defeat.
Inside the Numbers:
  • Javon Fields has five triples this year, one away from joining the top-10 in Towson single season history.
  • Fields has hit safely in six consecutive games.  Zach Piazza has reached base in six straight.

Towson is back in action tomorrow at 3 p.m. vs. Northeastern at Schuerholz Park.
