TOWSON, Md. – The Northeastern Huskies fell to the Towson Tigers, 4-3, at Schuerholz Park on Saturday, May. 2.
 
The Huskies entered the bottom of the ninth trailing by three runs, 1-4. After the first two batters were retired, Keith Kelly showcased his patience at the plate, earning a walk to begin the rally.

Hunt opened the game extremely well, striking out five Tigers through two innings. He ended his day with 69 strikes out of 110 total pitches.
 
Towson opened the game's scoring in the bottom of the second when Brady Policelli singled through left field to score Peter Bowles. Hunt, however, kept his composure, rebounded, and ended the inning allowing just the one earned run. 
 
The Tigers would score again just a few innings later when Chris Henze homered to left center. NU, however, would respond in the following inning when Hanley recorded his third triple of the season as he connected on a pitch to right-center field.
