Northeastern Loses Battle to Minnesota

BOX SCORE (PDF)

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Northeastern University baseball (2-3, 0-0 CAA) fell to the University of Minnesota (2-4, 0-0 Big Ten) on Friday afternoon at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida. The one-off game was a replacement of MLB spring training games for both schools who were slated to play their local MLB counterparts, the Red Sox and the Twins.

A low-scoring affair saw both starting pitchers work well into the sixth inning and beyond, with only four different pitchers seeing action in the game.
  • Mike Sirota was hit by pitch in the top of the first inning where he would then proceed to steal second, his first collegiate steal.
  • Cam Schlittler struck out two batters swinging in the bottom of the first to push him over 100 career strikeouts.
  • Minnesota's Hauser singled to left field to send Wilhite home giving the Gophers a 1-0 lead.
  • Spenser Smith led off for the Huskies in the third inning with a single to left field where he would then steal second, his second SB of the season.
  • Minnesota would post another run in the fourth inning to extend their lead 2-0.
  • The Huskies looked to break the shutout in the fifth inning, but runner's interference was called on Max Viera, sending the runner back to second wiping away a run, keeping the score 2-0.
  • Owen Langan would step on the mound for the Huskies pitching 2.0 innings and striking out one batter.
  • Luke Beckstein singled to right field in the top of the 8th sending home Sirota to cut the Huskies deficit to one. 
  • Minnesota would double down the right field line in the bottom of that same inning, sending home another insurance run taking a 3-1 lead.
  • Schlittler earned the loss despite going 6.0 innings allowing just four hits, and two unearned runs while striking out four. His record on the season is now 0-2.

Northeastern is back in action tomorrow with a doubleheader against Marshall University in the Snowbird Baseball Classic at Centennial Park in Port Charlotte. Game one of the doubleheader is slated for 12pm, and all Snowbird Classic games this weekend will air on FloBaseball.
