Info was correct. Game is on NESN+

What a performance by Murphy!

Huskies win 1-0 making a 1st inning run hold up. Murphy was excellent. (6 IP, 7K's, 3 Hits, 0 Walks). 3 good innings from the pen also

Very nice win in game 2 as well. 6-5. After a tough top of the 8th where we gave up 4 runs to turn a 4-1 lead into a 5-4 deficit, we rallied to get 2 in the bottom of the 8th on
a 2 out, 2 run single by Danny Crossen. Yost held the lead in the 9th to pick up his 2nd save of the day. 2 more tomorrow
