Towson Baseball Drops Game, Series to Northeastern

BROOKLINE, Mass. – The Towson University baseball team faced Northeastern on Saturday afternoon at Friedman Diamond in the second game of a three-game Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) series.
 
Northeastern (8-7, 4-1 CAA) went ahead by two runs in the fifth after four and a half scoreless frames. The Tigers (6-9, 0-5 CAA) scored one in the sixth before the tying run was thrown out at the plate to end the frame. The Huskies extended their lead to 3-1 in the sixth and went on to win by that score.
 
Key Stats:
  • Towson starter Liam Diehl (0-3) took the loss after allowing three runs, two earned, on six hits and one walk in 6.0 innings pitched. Diehl struck out seven batters.
  • Northeastern starter Luc Rising (1-1) earned the win, allowing one earned run on four hits and a walk in 6.0 innings pitched. Andrew Wertz picked up his first save of the season after tossing 3.0 shutout frames to close the game. Wertz allowed one hit and struck out one.
 
How it Happened:
  • After four and a half scoreless frames to start the game, Northeastern got on the board in the bottom of the fifth. A pair of singles put runners on the corners before Feinberg's RBI fielder's choice to first base scored a run. A throwing error allowed both runners to move into scoring position. Brinker followed with a groundout to first base, scoring Gerety from third.
  • Brian Heckelman and Keldrin Rodriguez singled in the top of the sixth, putting two runners on. Frank Adamski Jr. followed with a double to left center field, scoring Heckelman. Rodriguez was thrown out at the plate to end the frame.
  • Carmelo Musacchia hit a leadoff triple in the bottom half, putting a runner in scoring position with no outs. Eric Cha's sacrifice fly to right center extended the Huskies' lead to two again.
  • After going down in order in the seventh and eighth innings, the Tigers stranded a runner in the ninth, giving the Huskies a 3-1 win, and the series victory, with one to play.
