Entering Friday’s matchup, the Seahawks sat in the top spot in the CAA with a 10-2 record, with the Huskies close behind in second place at 9-3. Unfortunately for NU, the…
With the benefit of hindsight, Northeastern coach Mike Glavine has a confession: He should have recruited Tyler MacGregor and Alex Lane more seriously as high schoolers. Back in 2017, MacGregor and Lane were star teammates at St. John’s Prep, a perennial Massachusetts powerhouse located just 35 minutes from Northeastern’s campus. And both were on the…
“Eight walks isn’t going to get it done, four wild pitches isn’t going to get it done, [five] stolen bases against us isn’t going to get it done,” head coach Mike Glavine said after Northeastern’s first home loss of the season Wednesday afternoon. But that’s exactly what happened when the Huskies hosted Kansas State for…

Northeastern’s weekend series at the lowly Towson Tigers seemed like an opportunity to pick up wins and boost their run differential in the process, especially considering the Huskies entered on an eight-game win streak.

BROOKLINE — After their close 7-6 win up the road at UConn on Wednesday, Northeastern returned home to the friendly confines of Friedman Diamond to resume CAA conference play against Monmouth.

After an underwhelming 2022 regular season, Northeastern hit their stride in the playoffs and came inches away from winning the CAA tournament.

What most programs have to do is use the early games of the season as a makeshift spring training. Using the early slots of the nonconference portion of the season…
By Peyton Doyle No sports season ever goes as planned. Even when a team wins a championship the road there never unfurls perfectly.

CofC was by far the best hitting team in the conference in the regular season, but Northeastern’s forte all year has been its pitching staff,…
Story by Peyton Doyle There’s a common saying around the conference: “Never bet on the CAA.” The main reason for that is the parity in the league across all sports and the volatility of the conference tournaments. The 2022 baseball tournament has been no different so far. The No. 5 Northeastern Huskies (29-27-1, 10-14 CAA)…
Wednesday marks the first day of the 2022 CAA Baseball Championship Tournament in Elon, North Carolina.

By Peyton Doyle Brookline, Massachusetts – They say that April showers bring May flowers, but thus far all they have brought for the Northeastern baseball team is doubleheaders and rain delay antics.

Story by Khalin Kapoor The Northeastern Huskies (6-5-1) tied the UMass Minutemen (1-2-1) on Tuesday afternoon at Parsons field, spoiling the Huskies home opener.

Story by Jack Sinclair The Northeastern baseball team entered the third game of their series against North Carolina State having already accomplished their goal: win a series against a top 10 ranked opponent. Any good result Sunday would merely be icing on the cake of one of Northeastern’s biggest weekends in history. The Huskies, however,…
Story by Jack Sinclair Both Minneapolis and Boston were frozen in ice cold temperatures, but the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Northeastern Huskies were able to stay warm in Fort Myers Florida as they faced off in a non-conference matchup to replace the Huskies’ exhibition game with the Red Sox.

By Justin Chen The Huskies ran through a weaker CAA North Division and then won the tournament en-route to a 20-3 conference record during the 2021 season.

By Khalin Kapoor The 2021 season of Northeastern baseball was one of the most exciting in a long time. This is a team that scored 26 runs in one game, that had a 20-game win streak, and that won their first CAA Championship off of a walk-off home run. They constantly defied expectations in the…
By Milton Posner No point in a protracted intro here. This team was good. They did fun stuff on the field.

Story by Milton Posner Photos by Sadie Parker NEWARK, DE — A cursory glance at Saturday afternoon’s doubleheader between Northeastern and Delaware reveals a pair of games that make so little sense juxtaposed against one another that watching both was enough to give you vertigo.

By Milton Posner NEWARK, DE — You ever looked at a playoff probability chart for a presumed title contender at the start of a season? 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 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 Sarah Olender BROOKLINE, MA — The first three games of the Northeastern–Towson series were largely defined by quality starting pitching, difference-making defense, and the sort of persistent small ball teams play when the wind plucks fly balls out of the air. But on Sunday afternoon . . . all…
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 Justin Diament and Milton Posner Photos by Jordan Baron HARRISONBURG, VA — “Whenever it ends, it ends.” “It’s like you’re on a treadmill, you’re running about ten miles an hour, and somebody hits the stop button.

By Sarah Olender After a 9–0 loss last night, the Northeastern baseball team couldn’t be expected to be in high spirits.

By Jordan Baron These days, it’s pretty routine to find a baseball team at the AA level or higher where a majority of the pitching staff can throw 95 or higher. What’s abnormal is when a college team has that. But that’s exactly what the Northeastern Huskies faced in their Friday night season opener, as…

On Friday, the Huskies began a four-game series against the University of Missouri Tigers at City of Palms Park in Fort Myers. Led by 2017 freshman All-American Kameron Misner, the Tigers boast one of the most powerful lineups in the country (9.3 runs per game). The Huskies sent senior right hander Brian Christian to the mound in game one. The Tigers jumped on him early after a two-out double plated two in the first. But, Christian kept the Huskies in the game, allowing three runs on four hits in four innings of work while also tallying three strikeouts. Andrew Misiaszek threw three scoreless innings in relief for Northeastern before Mizzou was able to collect three, two-out hits in the bottom of the 8th, adding two late insurance runs. Across the diamond, Mizzou started Bryce Montes De Oca, a 6-foot-7 redshirt junior right hander who tops out at 99 mph. He kept the Huskies at bay, going 6 1/3 innings allowing four hits and a run while striking out eight as the Tigers beat the Huskies, 5-2.

by P.J. Wright At last, spring is on its way back to Boston! Jackets will turn into sweatshirts and then t-shirts; those colorful lawn chairs will once again occupy Centennial Common; frisbees will go back to infiltrating the airstream, and cups of coffee will convert into that of the iced variety – or at least…
By Jake Fischer On Monday, the Northeastern Huskies baseball team descended on Fenway Park in search of the school’s sixth baseball Beanpot championship.
