“I just put it where they weren’t, and you get lucky sometimes,” Reynolds said.

But the Huskies had a response of their own, picking up two runs in the bottom of the eighth. Freshman Logan Gillis doubled down the leftfield line off Way, scoring two and putting Northeastern down by only a run as the teams headed into the ninth. Harvard was unable to pick up an insurance run, stranding two on base. But sophomore Conner Hulse was able to hold off a Northeastern rally, stranding two baserunners and getting the save to conclude the wild affair. Way earned the win with 2.2 innings of relief.

Reynolds’ five hits brought his season average up to .396. He also had two steals and missed a cycle by just a home run.

The game saw 28 hits in total, each team with 14 apiece.

It was the second consecutive high-scoring game between the two teams. Last season, the Crimson topped the Huskies, 16-13, in the squad’s final game of the 2009 season.

“It’s always a wild one with those guys,” Reynolds said.
