Tigers’ Lead Doesn’t Hold at Northeastern

BROOKLINE, Mass. – The Towson University baseball team's lead against Northeastern didn't hold, with the Tigers falling 5-4 in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play Saturday afternoon at Friedman Diamond in Brookline, Massachusetts.
 
Towson (13-32, 3-18 CAA) took the lead on a John Cristino two-run home run in the second inning. Northeastern's (35-7, 16-5 CAA) Tyler MacGregor's lead-off home run in the third inning cut the Tigers' lead in half. A double and ground out with runners on in the top of the fifth each scored one more for Towson to make it a 4-1 game. The Huskies got one back in the sixth on a fielder's choice ground out to third base with the bases loaded, making it a two-run game once again. The Huskies tied the game in the seventh on a two-run home run and took a one-run lead later in the inning on a solo homer to make it a 5-4 game. The Tigers challenged with a runner on in the ninth but were unable to plate a run for a 5-4 final.
