STORRS, Conn. - Two of the hottest teams in college baseball face off in Storrs on Tuesday night with the UConn baseball team (33-18) welcoming No. 25 Northeastern (41-9) to Elliot Ballpark at 6:05 p.m. The game can be seen on UConn+ and the WWAX.
The Northeastern Huskies take a nation-best 20 game win streak into Tuesday night's match up while UConn has won 20 of its last 21 contests and are riding a seven-game win streak.
UConn is 2-0 against ranked opponents this year with victories against No. 14 Vanderbilt and No. 17 North Carolina.
Northeastern beat UConn up in Brookline, Mass., 3-0, on March 26 with LHP Max Gitlin throwing a perfect game until a one-out double from Sam Biller in the ninth inning. Ian Cooke came out of the bullpen for the Huskies and threw 4.1 shutout frames with eight strikeouts.
Both teams have clinched regular season championships in their respective conferences with Northeastern winning the CAA and UConn clinching at least a share of its fifth-straight BIG EAST regular season crown.
UConn is 59-24-1 all-time against the Boston Huskies but have lost five-straight in the series including an 0-3 record at Elliot Ballpark.
Entering Tuesday, UConn holds an RPI at No. 40 while Northeastern is at No. 29, a victory for either team would be a boost for their NCAA Tournament at-large resume.
