Jackson Goodman/WRBB Sports File BROOKLINE — Coming off a 17-5 run rule win the day before, the Huskies’ bats looked for more of the same on a beautiful 50°F day with limited wind at Friedman Diamond. On the mound, Northeastern handed the ball to senior transfer Luc Rising. Having pitched six innings in each of his last two starts, Rising came into today with a 1.86 ERA and tied for a team lead in strikeouts (19).
