Animal rights activists should certainly be on high alert after the dismantling of the Huskies (Northeastern) and the less offensively minded beating of the Eagles (Boston College) in the now traditional start of spring training doubleheader against the collegians.
In the first game, NEU got buried in the early frames of a 15-2 rout by a select Red Sox lineup that had several notables missing. The Red Sox were gifted by the first five batters being issued a walk on their way to scoring seven runs and giving lefty starter Jalen Beeks a victory for two shutout frames in the seven-inning contest.
