Game 1 Recap
 
After a three-run first inning, the Jacksonville Dolphins took the first game Saturday's doubleheader by a score of 4-1.

Huskies starter junior Dylan Maki took the loss after going six innings and allowing four runs on five hits with four strikeouts. Northeastern got two hits from Aaron Barbosa, Rob Fonseca, John Puttress, and Oliver Hart.

Connor Lyons batted in the lone Northeastern run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and Sean Lyons pitched two innings of scoreless relief in his first appearance of the season.
 
Taylor Ratliff started the game with a walk and then stole second, advanced to third on a groundout, and scored on an RBI single by Chris Anderson. Later in the inning, a one-out double by Jonathan Murphy plated two more runs, giving the Dolphins a 3-0 lead.
 
Both starters settled into a rhythm and the game stayed 3-0 until the bottom of the fifth. The Dolphins loaded the bases with no outs. Maki then surrendered a sacrifice fly to Adam Brett Walker, which put the Dolphins up 4-0, but Puttress caught Dan Gulbranson trying to steal second and Chris Anderson flied out to deep center field to end the inning without any further damage.
 
Lyons made it 4-1 with a sacrifice fly that scored Jason Vosler, but that was the only offense the Huskies could muster against Jacksonville's Alex McRae, who got the win after going eight innings. Drew Woods closed the game out in the ninth for the Dolphins to pick up his first save of the season.
 
Sophomore Sean Lyons made his first appearance of the season out of the bullpen, coming on to pitch two perfect scoreless innings in the seventh and eighth.

Barbosa led off the game with his first triple of the season and Michael Foster got him home with a sacrifice fly for his first career RBI. Walks to Matt Miller and Rob Fonseca and a single by John Puttress loaded the bases for Roeder, who got his first start of the year as the designated hitter.

The Huskies tacked on two more runs in the seventh on an RBI double by Roeder to make it 7-1 after loading the bases with no one out.
 
In the ninth, the Huskies got their final run when Puttress led off with a double and came around to score on a wild pitch thrown by Adam Maxon. Foster got his first action of his career on the mound in the bottom half of the ninth, and completed the inning after allowing just one walk.
