Junior first baseman Erik Binkowski has also been murderous at the plate. He is hitting .336 with three home runs and 28 RBI on the year. And although he hit into the game-ending double play with the tying run on against UMass on Monday, Binkowski ended up 2-for-5 with three RBI.

The hottest hitter in the Crimson line-up of late has been junior designated hitter Jeff Bridich. Bridich--who was recently named Ivy League Player of the Week after going 9-for-14 with eight RBI and a home run against Brown last weekend--is hitting an even .400 on the year with three home runs and 19 RBI. Against the Minutemen, he went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a homerun.

With all of this firepower, the Crimson will face a Huskies club with an excellent 3.65 team ERA. Northeastern can also do some damage with the bat. Leading the Huskies at the plate is sophomore first baseman Matt Keating, who boasts a .360 average to go along with six home runs and 30 RBI this year.

Although the Crimson have the advantage on paper, team members said they must remain focused on the game at hand to avoid an upset.

"We feel confident going in, and we feel that we should win," Carey said. "But we are definitely not looking ahead of them. We are both different teams from last year, and we are taking this as a different game."
