Dukes Fall to Northeastern
4/1/2018 4:47:00 PM | Baseball
HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison suffered a tough 8-1 loss against Northeastern in Colonial Athletic Association baseball action at Eagle Field on Sunday afternoon.
The Dukes (14-12, 2-4 CAA) could not slow down the Huskies' (14-10, 2-1 CAA) offense, as Northeastern posted at least one run in six of the nine innings.
Freshman Michael Morgan posted a 3-for-4 performance at the plate, his first career three-hit game and third multi-hit game of the season. Sophomore DaVonn Griffin accounted for JMU's sole run with a solo home run in the third inning, his second of his career.
On the mound, freshman Nick Stewart took the loss to move to 2-3 on the season after tossing 2.2 innings, giving up four runs (two earned) on four hits with one strikeout.
Northeastern began the game by scoring at least one run in the first five innings to jump out to a 7-1 lead going into the sixth. The Huskies plated their final run in the seventh to secure the win, 8-1.
QUOTING COACH IKE
"We just didn't pitch and play defense when we needed to. We cannot give up four unearned runs and expect to win a ball game."
UP NEXT
James Madison will host VMI on Wednesday at Eagle Field, with first pitch slated for 6 p.m.
