Northeastern baseball enters NCAA Tournament as hottest team in nation

Northeastern baseball enters the NCAA Tournament as the hottest team in the country, and it’s not particularly close.

The Huskies, who were just on the outside of hosting a regional, are on a ridiculous 27-game win streak going into the Tallahassee Regional, hosted by No. 9 Florida State.

Northeastern, which boasts the nation’s best team ERA at 2.92 this season, is ranked No. 21 in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. They have three starting pitchers with sub-3.00 ERAs, and four hitters batting over .300.

Amid a historic season, the Huskies are looking to make a run to their second College World Series appearance ever, as they last made it in 1966. The NCAA Tournament appearance is only their 11th bid.

Here’s everything to know about Northeastern baseball’s win streak, as it prepares for Mississippi State on Friday:

Northeastern baseball win streak

Northeastern won its 27th consecutive game after beating UNC Wilmington 9-6 in the CAA tournament championship, which locked up its NCAA Tournament bid.

The Huskies haven’t lost in nearly two months, last taken down by Campbell 18-8 in eight innings, as the game ended in run-rule fashion. At one point during the win streak, Northeastern won by run-rule in three consecutive games, beating Charleston 10-0 and Monmouth 16-5 and 10-0.

The record for most consecutive wins in Division I baseball is 34, which was set by Texas in 1977 and tied by Florida Atlantic in 1999. Northeastern would have to sweep the Tallahassee Regional and the following super regional, plus win its first CWS game to tie the record. That won’t be easy, but it is certainly doable for the red-hot team.

Northeastern has a 48-9 record this season, which is its best mark in program history. Not only does it lead the nation in team ERA, but it also leads in shutouts (17) and WHIP (1.04). The Huskies also get it done offensively, led by CAA Player of the Year Harrison Feinberg and a lineup that ranks second nationally in stolen bases (192).

Northeastern has yet to win a regional game since the NCAA Tournament format changed in 1999, but coach Mike Glavine, the brother of Baseball Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, thinks this team is ready for the challenge.

“This is the best group – the most prepared group – going into a regional tournament that we’ve had,” Glavine told the university’s in-house news outlet. “For me, now it’s just making sure our guys believe they can do this.

“We get in these situations where sometimes we don’t play our best baseball and we worry about things that we can’t control. I want to see the same team I’ve seen all year long. It’s going to be a great opponent, an SEC opponent, in Mississippi State. We have to focus on ourselves and can’t get caught up in who we’re playing. It’s going to be tough, obviously, but we’re going to be tough.”
