Carter walked the first batter he faced to force in Northeastern's Michael Lomuscio from third. Though Carter struck out the next three batters in a row to end the inning, Lomuscio's run proved to be the game-winner.

Earlier in the inning, Northeastern was helped out by a fielding error by Lentz, who started yesterday's game at first base despite usually playing catcher.

The Huskies added an insurance run in the eighth after Carter hit Northeastern's leadoff batter with a pitch, and then made an errant throw to first on a pickoff attempt that allowed the runner to advance second.

Lomuscio struck again, singling through the hole on the right side to plate the run.

Carter's wayward pickoff throw was his third error of the game. He committed the first two while playing third base.

Before surrendering the lead in the late innings, Harvard took a 2-1 advantage in the third after a Husky error allowed Lopez and freshman center fielder Bryan Hale to score.

But in the bottom half of the inning, things started to get really interesting.
