BROOKLINE, Mass. – With Jeff Costello and Jake Farrell combining to yield nine RBIs on Friday, the Northeastern baseball team cruised past Delaware, 13-4, at Friedman Diamond as the Huskies won their second straight CAA series opener.
 
Costello earned four of his five RBIs with one swing of the bat during the third inning, when he slugged his first career grand slam beyond the left field wall. The sophomore outfielder doubled in another run for Northeastern (13-12, 3-1 CAA) during his fifth-inning plate appearance, co-leading the Huskies with three hits alongside second baseman Jake Rosen (three-for-four).
 
Farrell broke the game open during the sixth inning, putting the Huskies ahead, 12-3, courtesy of his bases-clearing, three-RBI double against Winston Allen. The NU first baseman tacked on an RBI triple during the eighth inning, scoring two runs on top of the four that he drove in.
 
Scott Holzwasser declared Northeastern's offensive arrival, dropping the first pitch he received from the Blue Hens' starter, Brandon Walter, into the alley in right center for a leadoff triple. Holzwasser scored during Ian Fair's ensuing sacrifice fly to provide Tyler Brown with the early, 1-0 advantage.
 
Brown retired each of the first eight batters that he faced before Costello's grand slam gifted he and Northeastern a 6-0 lead through three innings. The NU right-hander set season highs in both innings pitched (six) and strikeouts (six), limiting the visitors to three runs, none earned, and four hits.
 
Delaware (6-18, 1-3 CAA) received two and one-third innings from starter Brandon Walter before he exited the game after being struck by Ian Fair's comeback single off the mound. Joseph Carpenter plated two unearned runs for the Blue Hens during the sixth inning, when he hit a two-RBI double down the left field line against Brown.
 
Northeastern totaled six extra-base hits during Friday's victory, including four that combined to produce nine runs. The Huskies also benefitted from three Delaware errors.
