Northeastern secured a 7-3 victory over UNCW in the Coastal Athletic Association tournament, moving on to the next round at Brooks Field on Friday. The win improved the Huskies to 35-20, while the Seahawks concluded their season at 30-28.
Eighth-Inning Explosion
The decisive moment arrived in the eighth inning, when Northeastern erupted for five runs. Harrison Feinberg launched a home run, and Carmine Musacchia added an RBI single, shifting the momentum decisively in the Huskies' favor.
Pitching was equally commanding. Luc Rising struck out 11 batters, and the entire staff combined for 17 strikeouts, with Andrew Rogovic earning the win. Jake Bechtel had earlier put UNCW ahead with a two-run homer in the sixth, but the Huskies' rally proved unstoppable.
