Wade Herley, a longtime Northeast Community College leader, laughs when he recalls all the attention the belt has brought.

The Huskies are hitting .290 as a team and are paced by outfielder Harrison Feinburg (.379, 18 HR, 66 RBI). Feinburg is one of three Northeastern players with double digit home runs.

Northeastern trotted out ace Will Jones who was 11-0 on the season. Mississippi State did pretty much whatever they wanted with Jones and the Huskies before the game went final.
