ELON, N.C. – With redshirt-junior right-hander Kyle Murphy delivering seven strikeouts across seven innings on Sunday, the Northeastern baseball team was in position to pick up a road win at first-place Elon, despite Jared Wetherbee firing eight scoreless innings for the Phoenix as the Huskies were defeated, 3-0, at Latham Park.
 
Northeastern (18-24, 8-10 CAA) received a solid start from Murphy, who limited Elon (27-18, 16-2 CAA) to two runs, five hits and a walk. Murphy experienced his only hiccup during the third inning, when the Phoenix used two sacrifices to turn Anthony Galason's leadoff double into a run prior to Cam Devanney hitting a two-out, solo home run to left center field.
 
Riding Murphy's string of 10 straight batters retired, the Huskies kept their deficit at 2-0 until the eighth inning, when the Phoenix tacked on a meaningful insurance run against Andrew Misiaszek courtesy of Devanney's second solo homer of the day.
 
Ian Fair accounted for two of Northeastern's four hits, singling during the fourth and sixth innings.
 
Jake Rosen and Jake Farrell both registered two-out doubles for the Huskies, swinging for extra bases during the second and ninth innings, respectively.
 
Wetherbee recorded five strikeouts across his eight-inning start for Elon, walking two batters and hitting one (Scott Holzwasser) while tossing 117 pitches. Brandon Justice earned the ninth-inning save for the Phoenix.
