BROOKLINE, Mass. -- The Northeastern Huskies (39-9) capped off the home midweek schedule with a win over the UMass Lowell River Hawks (17-30) by a score of 9-3 on Wednesday afternoon at Friedman Diamond.

• Northeastern jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, with Cam Maldonado doubling to right center and scoring on an RBI single from Harrison Feinberg. Feinberg later stole home as part of a double steal with Carmelo Musacchia to give the Huskies a 2-0 advantage.
• After UMass Lowell got on the board with a sacrifice fly in the third, the Huskies answered immediately in the bottom half of the inning when Maldonado scored from third on a double play to extend the lead to 3-1.
• The Huskies added another run in the fourth when Ryan Gerety singled through the right side, bringing home Gregory Bozzo who had reached on a walk to make it 4-2.

• The Huskies' trio at the top of the lineup – Gerety, Maldonado, and Feinberg – combined to go 8-for-12 with four runs scored and four RBIs. Feinberg finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two stolen bases.
