Hofstra Rally Falls Short In Loss At Northeastern

Brookline, MA - Hofstra rallied from a 7-2 deficit with four runs in the seventh inning but ultimately dropped an 8-6 decision to Northeastern Saturday at Friedman Diamond. The win by the Huskies clinched the CAA series ahead of Sunday's finale.

Hofstra slipped to 14-22 overall and 8-12 in the CAA. Northeastern is 25-16 overall and 15-5 in league play. 

The Huskies jumped out to a 6-0 lead after four innings. Northeastern scored twice in the third on a Pride error and then added four more runs in the fourth. 

Michael Brown put Hofstra on the board in the fifth with a sacrifice fly and Nick Gallello added an RBI single in the sixth. Trailing, 7-2, in the seventh, Hofstra pushed across four runs to make it a one-run game. Brown had an RBI single and Danny Corona added a three-run home run to center field to cap the Hofstra rally. 

However, Northeastern would tack on an insurance run in the seventh and the Pride brought the tying run to the plate in both the eighth and ninth without scoring. 

Starter Chris Bedford (0-4) took the loss after allowing six runs (4 earned) on seven hits over three innings. Luc Rising (3-4) earned the win for Northeastern, allowing two runs on six hits over 5 ⅔ innings. Andrew Wertz notched his second save with 2 ⅔ innings of relief to close out the contest.
