Northeastern deals Clemson its first loss of the season

Clemson committed three errors, hit four batters and mustered seven hits in a streak-snapping 5-3 loss to Northeastern on Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers (14-1) had put together their third-best winning run to start the season going into the matchup. The next-best mark was 17-0 in 1992. Clemson also had the sixth-longest winning streak in school history snapped (15 going back to last season).

The Huskies (7-7-1) scored first in the third inning off of a throwing error at shortstop by Benjamin Blackwell, and for the first time in the series, Clemson didn't answer with a run or two of their own with the opportunity next time out.
