Story by Milton Posner Photos by Sadie Parker WILMINGTON, NC — As the Northeastern Huskies celebrated on Brooks Field, as they doused their coach with ice water and raised their first-ever CAA Tournament trophy toward a cloudy North Carolina sky, the only question to ask was how.

Heading into the bottom of the ninth, Northeastern trailed UNCW 10–9. The Seahawks send Landen Roupp, the CAA Pitcher of the Year, back to the mound after two-plus innings of relief work.

The one that tells you they have a 95 percent chance of making the playoffs, then skyrockets to 99-point-whatever percent within two weeks as it becomes clear that the team…
By Milton Posner What seemed in the early stages like another Northeastern blowout, then like a war of bullpen attrition as Hofstra made a late-inning rally, wound up being another Northeastern blowout after all. A 10–3 win boosted the Huskies to a 16–0 conference record (28–6 overall) and extended their win streak to 18 games,…
By Adam Doucette BROOKLINE, MA — Northeastern baseball continued their NCAA-leading win streak Saturday with a doubleheader sweep against the Hofstra Pride.

By Jack Sinclair BROOKLINE, MA — When a team wins, and keeps winning, it can be extremely difficult to find areas to improve. But for the 23–6 Northeastern Huskies, who came into this weekend with a 13-game winning streak, improving comes naturally. Northeastern and Hofstra met on the Friedman Diamond for the first of a…

Story by Milton Posner Photos by Sadie Parker BROOKLINE, MA — Saturday’s doubleheader featured a near-perfect eight-inning start, weather-related havoc, the end of a two-year-old streak, a go-ahead home run, a straw hat, a golden necklace, and, albeit to a lesser extent, a dog. It also featured two wins by the Northeastern Huskies, who topped…
Story by Milton Posner Photos by Sadie Parker BROOKLINE, MA — Saturday’s doubleheader was a showcase of just how many ways Northeastern can beat you.

Story by Catherine Morrison Photos by Sadie Parker BROOKLINE, MA — Northeastern (7–5) continued their winning streak on a chilly Tuesday afternoon against Bryant (2–7), scoring five and shutting out the Bulldogs.

By Catherine Morrison The Northeastern Huskies (5–5) split a doubleheader with the UMass Lowell River Hawks (1–7) Friday afternoon at Parsons Field. In the first game, Northeastern starter Kyle Murphy settled in, striking out eight and only allowing four hits and three earned runs.

By Sarah Olender In a hard fought series, Northeastern (3–4) lost the final game against Old Dominion (8–3), 3–2 in eleven innings Sunday afternoon. There weren’t many parts of the game that had the socially distanced crowd in Norfolk, Virginia standing up to cheer, but this close game was one of the most exciting because…
By Sarah Olender Friday’s game brought the Huskies a disappointing walk-off loss after a hard-fought back-and-forth battle. On Saturday, Old Dominion (7–3) scored all of their runs in one third-inning barrage, and spent the rest of the game stranding runners. Throughout the game, Northeastern (3–3) chipped away at the Monarchs’ lead. Sebastian Keane took the…
By Sarah Olender After a 9–0 loss last night, the Northeastern baseball team couldn’t be expected to be in high spirits.
