Luke Celtruda was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
Meanwhile, Northeastern made easy work of Kennard-Dale on Saturday and carried off a 9-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bobcats, who have now won eight contests by six runs or more so far this season.
The team relied heavily on Brandon Charleston, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Brandt Johnson, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI.
Northeastern was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .407. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kennard-Dale only posted a batting average of .160.
Northeastern pushed their record up to 14-6 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for Red Land, their loss dropped their record down to 6-14.
Red Land couldn't quite finish off Northeastern when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 4-2. Can the Patriots avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
