BROOKLINE, Mass. (Interstat) — Northeastern completed a three-game sweep of Stony Brook with a 7-4 victory Sunday afternoon at Parsons Field, powered by a strong relief performance from Cooper Maher and a balanced offensive attack that erased an early deficit.

The Huskies improved to 31-18 overall and 20-8 in the Colonial Athletic Association, while the Seawolves dropped to 20-28 and 11-20 in conference play. Northeastern had routed Stony Brook 15-0 on Saturday and 12-3 on Friday, making Sunday’s contest more competitive but ultimately following the same script.

Stony Brook struck first in the top of the first inning. Evan Zampieron singled, advanced to third on a single by Jake Dromboski and scored on a balk. The Seawolves loaded the bases with two singles, but left them stranded when Scott Gell struck out and Brendan Villani grounded out.

Northeastern answered immediately in the bottom half. Jack Feinberg walked and moved to second when Ryan Gerety reached on catcher’s interference. A balk put both runners in scoring position, and Matt Brinker reached on a fielder’s choice that scored Feinberg on a throwing error by shortstop John Cervoni. A.J. Aschettino followed with an RBI single, and Brinker later scored on a passed ball, giving the Huskies a 3-1 lead.

Stony Brook cut the deficit to 3-2 in the second inning when Brendan Jackson singled, stole second and scored on Zampieron’s single to center. But Northeastern answered again. Gerety singled home Harmony to tie the game, and Feinberg scored on a wild pitch later in the inning to put the Huskies ahead 5-2.

The Seawolves mounted their best rally in the third. Chanz Doughty led off with a solo home run to left field, and Chris Carson followed with a triple down the right-field line. That brought Maher into the game for Northeastern, replacing starter Andrew McCarroll. Maher allowed a sacrifice fly to Gell that scored Carson, cutting the lead to 5-4, but then struck out Villani and got Jackson to ground out to end the inning.

Maher settled into a groove, retiring nine of the next 11 batters he faced. The right-hander pitched five innings in relief, allowing one hit and no earned runs while striking out two. His performance stabilized the game after a shaky start and gave the Huskies time to extend their lead.

Northeastern added insurance in the fifth. Aschettino singled, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Dominic DiGiorgio’s single to center, making it 6-4. The Huskies tacked on another run in the sixth when Feinberg was hit by a pitch, stole second, advanced to third on a single by Gerety and scored on Aschettino’s sacrifice fly to center.

Stony Brook threatened in the eighth when Gell doubled and moved to third on a passed ball, but reliever Andrew Wertz struck out pinch hitter Anthony Davino looking to end the inning. Wertz pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two, to close out the win.

Stony Brook starter Ryan Henshaw lasted only 1 1/3 innings, giving up five runs, three earned, on three hits and three walks. Nicholas Rizzo threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings of relief with four strikeouts, and Aidan Colagrande added 1 1/3 hitless innings. But the Seawolves could not overcome the early deficit.

Offensively, Aschettino went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk for Northeastern. Gerety was 2-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases. For Stony Brook, Doughty was 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI, and Carson was 2-for-3 with a triple and a run scored.

The series sweep extended Northeastern’s winning streak to three games after dropping two of three at Monmouth the previous weekend. Stony Brook lost its fourth straight game and fell to 2-8 in its last 10 contests.

Northeastern next travels to Connecticut on Tuesday before a three-game series at Towson starting Thursday. Stony Brook returns home to host Hofstra for a three-game set beginning Thursday.

Interstat’s game simulator projected a final score of Northeastern 7, Stony Brook 6, and its ELO system gave the Huskies a 77.70 percent probability to win.
