LOWELL, Mass. – Tuesday night's baseball game between Northeastern and UMass Lowell was canceled due to rain with the Huskies leading the River Hawks, 2-1, with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning. At the present time, the game will not be rescheduled.
 
Rain in the Lowell, Massachusetts, area during the early evening pushed back the start of the game from its originally scheduled time of 7 p.m. to a first-pitch time of 7:27 p.m. Approximately one hour following first pitch, heavy rain descended on LeLacheur Park, sending the game into a 62-minute rain delay. The game was officially called at 9:29 p.m.
 
Michael Foster led off the first inning for Northeastern (23-26, 13-8 CAA) by taking a full-count pitch over the left-field fence for a solo home run. During the next at-bat, Keith Kelly blasted his first career triple off the right-field wall, only to have it nulled by the game's cancelation.
 
Taking the mound with a 2-0 lead, sophomore Nate Borges threw six strikeouts during 3.2 innings of work, allowing just one run on three hits, but his impressive stat line was also wiped out by the rain.
 
Northeastern will dry off and head back to Friedman Diamond on Thursday, May 14, to begin a three-game series against No. 15 College of Charleston. The Huskies can clinch the No. 3 seed in the 2015 CAA tournament by earning no more than two losses against the first-place Cougars.
 
NU will also be dedicating the new John "Tinker" Connelly Pavilion on Saturday, May 16, at 10:30 a.m. in conjunction with Senior Day festivities.
