TOWSON, Md. (Interstat) — Northeastern built an 8-0 lead and held off a Towson comeback for an 8-7 victory Friday afternoon at John B. Schuerholz Baseball Complex.

The Huskies (34-18) scored four runs in the third inning, highlighted by Feinberg’s RBI double and a run on a third-base error, then added four more in the fourth on Musacchia’s RBI single and a throwing error by the third baseman. Towson answered with five runs in the bottom of the fourth. Nich Francuzenko drew a bases-loaded walk, Yariel Rodriguez singled in two runs and Brady Nathison delivered a two-run single.

Northeastern extended the lead to 8-5 in the sixth on Gerety’s RBI single and Brinker’s two-run single. Nathison cut the deficit to one in the seventh with a two-run homer, his second hit of the game. Brinker provided the final margin with a solo home run in the ninth.

Towson (20-32) managed seven hits. The Tigers had won the previous day’s game 7-0. The teams conclude the series Saturday.
