BROOKLINE, Mass. – Northeastern baseball (13-12-1, 0-4 CAA) fell to William & Mary (12-11, 3-1 CAA) in the first game of the two teams' three-game weekend series at Friedman Diamond on Friday afternoon.
 

• The Tribe opened the game with a trio of two-out singles, the third of which scored the opening run to give William & Mary a 1-0 lead in the first.
• Northeastern answered back in the bottom of the frame – after a leadoff walk to Mike Sirota and a sacrifice bunt by Jeff Costello to advance him into scoring position, a two-out single up the middle by Corey DiLoreto sent the freshman home to tie the game.
• William & Mary got back on top in the third with a three-run home run to lead 4-1.
• The Tribe tacked on another two runs in the fourth on an RBI double to take a 6-1 lead.
• Northeastern would try and chip away at the lead in the bottom of the eighth – Jeff Costello notched a single through the left side, advanced to second on a ground out, and to third on a passed ball. Corey DiLoreto hit into a ground out to the short stop, but it allowed Costello to score from third to make the score 6-2.
