By Peyton Doyle No sports season ever goes as planned. Even when a team wins a championship the road there never unfurls perfectly. A tanking team could have their vision go sideways by some untimely wins. Last season, the CAA was split into two divisions, North and South, and Northeastern was voted the favorite to…
Story by Daisy Roberts After losing to the Hofstra Pride in the morning game Saturday before bouncing back in the loser’s bracket, the Northeastern Huskies looked to remedy that loss with a finals win.

Story by Jack Sinclair Northeastern baseball came into Saturday’s game with their heads held high: they had just knocked the top-seeded College of Charleston Cougars into the losers bracket and had a chance to advance to the championship game with a win against the Hofstra Pride. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Huskies.…
Story by Daisy Roberts The Northeastern Huskies faced a daunting opponent in the second round of the CAA Baseball Tournament as they took on the top-seeded College of Charleston Cougars. 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.

Story by Jack Sinclair LOWELL, Mass. — There are many times in one’s life where it may feel like a person is stuck between two immovable objects. A rock and a hard place, so to speak.

Story by Peyton Doyle Senior Day provided a prime example of what has haunted the Northeastern Huskies (26-25-1, 9-12 CAA) throughout the season. Northeastern has scored less than five runs in 29 of its 52 games. The team has the fourth most errors in the conference, and despite having the best ERA in the CAA,…
Story by Mike Puzzanghera BROOKLINE, Mass. — Despite a go-ahead two-run homer from Jeff Costello in the bottom of the eighth inning, Northeastern was unable to hold on Saturday afternoon at Friedman Diamond.

Story by Jack Sinclair About a year ago, the Northeastern Huskies baseball team and the UNCW Seahawks were flying high at the top of their respective divisions of the CAA.

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. Luckily for the Huskies, the rain quenched the Phoenix’s flames as Northeastern topped Elon 2-1 in their first conference series win of the…
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. This game ended prematurely due to a lack of lighting, with the umpires deeming playing conditions unsafe once the sun set. The game would have gone on to extra innings in…
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.

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. With the conference schedule returning to the regular slate this season, Northeastern will see more matchups when CAA play rolls around in April. UNCW: The CAA runner-up will…
By Catherine Morrison To no one’s surprise, Northeastern topped the CAA preseason poll after winning their first conference tournament last season and advancing to the NCAA playoffs. Starting pitcher Cam Schlitter was chosen as the 2022 CAA preseason co-player of the year, and joined four of his teammates in the preseason All-CAA team. Last 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 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. Not “how did they win it”; this was,…
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.

Story by Catherine Morrison Photos by Sadie Parker NEWARK, DE — On a sweltering Sunday afternoon, the Northeastern Huskies (30–8, 18–2 CAA) looked to put themselves back together after a devastating Saturday loss to the Delaware Blue Hens (12–22, 8–16 CAA) that ended their NCAA-best 20-game winning streak. Wyatt Scotti was tapped to start for the…
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. In the first, the Huskies, who entered riding an NCAA-best…
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 Adam Doucette BROOKLINE, MA — Northeastern baseball continued their NCAA-leading win streak Saturday with a doubleheader sweep against the Hofstra Pride. The two wins moved them to 14–0 in conference play and 26–6 overall, and built their win streak to 16 games. “We try to have fun with it,” Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine…
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 Milton Posner BROOKLINE, MA — Heading into this weekend’s series against Towson, Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine emphasized the recent successes of his starting pitchers, who ceded five measly runs to Delaware across 25 stellar innings last weekend. Among them was freshman phenom Cam Schlittler, who tossed seven innings of one-run ball in…
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.

Story and photos by Peyton Doyle BROOKLINE, MA — A close game in any sport will cause palpable tension to form. In baseball, each pitch could cause an eruption of joy or a sting of regret. There is no clock, the pitcher dictates the pace, and the hitter adjusts as best they can. In no other…

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 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 Catherine Morrison On a windy and cold Friday afternoon, Northeastern (2–3) faced Old Dominion (7–2) in Norfolk, Virginia in the first in a three-game series.

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 and Sarah Olender It was Northeastern baseball’s second game of the season, and anyone who watched yesterday’s matchup knows that Northeastern struggled in the first inning.

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…
By Milton Posner Imagine, for a moment, being Matt Lord or Dave Howarth. Both are freshmen position players for the Huskies. Neither saw any playing time during the team’s first three games, all decisive losses to the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. So they made their collegiate debuts on Friday afternoon in Fort Myers, Florida.…

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.

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. Standing in their way was the University of Massachusetts Minutemen, also searching for their sixth Beanpot banner, but the Huskies were able to overcome a two-run deficit and take home the 2013…
