Northeastern Baseball Dominates College of Charleston 6-0 in 2025 CAA Championship Game
Charleston, SC – The No. 1 Northeastern baseball team secured a commanding 6-0 victory over the No. 4 College of Charleston in the opening game of the 2025 CAA Baseball Championship. With this win, the Huskies improved their record to 46-9 and 25-2 in the CAA, while the Cougars dropped to 35-20 and 15-12 in the conference.
The game started strong for Northeastern, who quickly jumped ahead with two runs in the first inning. Sophomore right fielder Ryan Gerety set the tone by leading off the game with a single to right field. Back-to-back walks issued to junior center fielder Cam Maldonado and redshirt junior left fielder Harrison Feinberg loaded the bases with no outs. Junior shortstop Jack Goodman then fouled out to second base, allowing Gerety to touch home plate and put Northeastern ahead 1-0. Following this, junior second baseman Carmelo Musacchia contributed with an RBI single through the left side, doubling the lead to 2-0.
The Huskies continued to build on their lead in the subsequent innings. In the third inning, Feinberg connected for a solo home run to right-center field, increasing the score to 3-0. Musacchia struck again in the fifth inning with another solo homer, pushing the Huskies’ lead to 4-0. The seventh inning witnessed Goodman reaching base on a walk, which set the stage for junior designated hitter Matt Brinker to deliver a two-run home run, rounding out the scoring at 6-0.
On the pitching front, graduate student left-handed pitcher Will Jones made history by earning a record-breaking 11th win of the season for the Northeastern program. Over his seven innings of work, Jones was dominant, allowing just three hits, two walks, and no runs to the Cougars. Junior right-handed pitcher Charlie Walker closed the game effectively by striking out two batters and giving up just one hit in three innings.
This shutout marks the fourth time this season that Northeastern has held the College of Charleston scoreless, and the 17th shutout in total for the Huskies, which is the highest in the nation. The victory against the Cougars also highlights Northeastern’s defensive prowess, as they have not surrendered a run to Charleston in a remarkable 34 innings this season, spanning across four games. Moreover, the Huskies currently tie for fifth in NCAA Division I history for the number of shutouts in a single season.
With this win, Northeastern has extended its impressive winning streak to 25 consecutive games. The Huskies are poised to continue their championship pursuit as they prepare to face either No. 2 UNCW or No. 3 Campbell in the CAA semifinals scheduled for Friday night.
As the tournament progresses, fans and followers of Northeastern baseball will be watching closely to see if the Huskies can maintain their momentum and advance further in the competition.
