Towson Baseball Edged in Series Opener at Northeastern

BOSTON – The Towson University baseball team engaged in a pitching duel to begin the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) series at Northeastern, falling to the Huskies 6-1 on Friday afternoon.
 
Towson (10-31, 1-12 CAA) and Northeastern (21-21-1, 5-8 CAA) had a pitcher's duel going as Ethan Pecko, Nolan Bolt and Wyatt Scotti allowed a combined three runs through the first five innings.  Northeastern plated three in the sixth en route to its win.
 
Key Stats:
  • The Towson pitching had six runs allowed, just four earned.  The loss went to Ethan Pecko (0-2), who had two runs, each unearned in the first, on four innings with two strikeouts.  Cam Clark had a perfect, three-strikeout inning in the seventh.
  • Jake Lysaght reached base twice in the game, going 1-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch.  Nolan Young went 1-for-4, scoring the team's run and stealing a base.
  • For Northeastern, Max Viera finished 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs and an RBI.  Starter Wyatt Scotti went 4.2 innings with a run and four strikeouts in the no-decision.  The win went to reliever Eric Yost (3-2), going 4.1 scoreless with six strikeouts.
How It Happened:
  • Northeastern scored the first run of the game in the opening inning.  Spenser Smith reached on an one-out error at first and stole second.  Corey DiLoreto singled up the middle to score Smith.  Later, with Luke Beckstein on third, Max Viera lined a single to the right-center gap for a 2-0 Northeastern lead.
  • Ethan Pecko held down Northeastern in the following two innings to keep the deficit at two.  Into the fourth, back-to-back singles, then a Nolan Young steal, put runners on the corners.  With one away, a wild pitch got Young home for Towson's first run.
  • The pitching duel continued into the sixth inning with each side stifling the opposing batters.  Towson had threatened in the top of the fifth with a James Moses single putting two on with two out, but Northeastern ended the inning with a strikeout.
  • In the bottom of the sixth, Northeastern picked up runners on the corners with two out.  Danny Crossen hit a first pitch RBI double over the left fielder's head, then Justin Bosland singled to the right-center gap for two more runs in.  Northeastern led 5-1 after six.
  • Towson mustered base runners in the final three innings but could not score.  A Bosland RBI single in the eighth made the eventual final score 6-1 Northeastern.
Inside the Numbers:
  • Ethan Pecko had his first-career weekend start as a Tiger, having his longest outing of the season with four innings.
  • Danny Becerra has reached base his last 18 games while James Moses has gotten at least one base his last 11 games.
  • Elijah Dickerson's hitting streak was snapped at eight games.

Towson returns to the Friedman Diamond on Saturday, April 30 to play Northeastern at 1 p.m.
