BROOKLINE, Mass. – Scoring early and often during Sunday's weekend finale against Delaware, the Northeastern baseball team motored by the Blue Hens, 16-8, at Friedman Diamond, collecting its second straight CAA series victory to begin the league calendar.
 
Northeastern (14-13, 4-2 CAA) scored during all but one of its eight offensive innings at the plate, posting crooked numbers during the second, third, fourth and seventh innings. After Delaware (7-19, 2-4 CAA) had scored seven seventh-inning runs (six unearned) to trim the Huskies' lead from 11-1 to 11-8, NU responded with four unearned runs of its own to put the game out of reach with six outs left to be claimed.
 
Jake Rosen led Northeastern's lineup with three RBIs, hitting the RBI triple that put the Huskies in front, 6-1, during the third inning and the two-RBI double during the seventh inning that extended the squad's late-game edge to 15-8. The junior second baseman was also one of four NU players that stole two bags as part of the Huskies' eight-for-nine day on the base paths.
 
Ryan Solomon went two-for-four and scored three runs out of the ninth spot in Northeastern's lineup.
 
Two batters after Rosen had hit his third-inning triple, Solomon muscled a two-run home run to the left field bullpens, circling the bases for the first time this season as the Huskies took the commanding, 8-1 advantage. The senior third baseman also tripled to lead off the eighth inning.
 
Right-hand starter Kyle Murphy struck out five batters across five innings while denying Delaware to an unearned run on three hits. Murphy departed the game with Northeastern leading, 11-1, earning his third win of the 2019 season and his second as a starting arm.
 
Ian Fair went three-for-five with a double, three runs scored and two RBIs. Scott Holzwasser accounted for two hits as the Huskies' leadoff batter while Michael Geaslen extended his hitting streak to eight games courtesy of his fourth-inning, two-RBI single.
