Joey Marcozzi scored on Brian McKenna's sacrifice fly in the sixth inning.

WILMINGTON, Del.- Gregg Davies hit a three-run homer as Towson University scored four times in the sixth inning and held on to defeat Northeastern University, 7-6, to advance to the America East Championship game. The Tigers, 37-22, must defeat Delaware twice to earn the conference crown.

Davies, the America East Player of the Year, is now 7-for-14 in the tournament. Towson broke open a 3-3 tie in the sixth when Joey Marcozzi singled up the middle to lead off the inning, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Luke Carlin. Brian McKenna delivered a sacrifice fly to right field to score Marcozzi. Tom Trela and Ryan Avila then hit back-to-back singles and after a flyout, Davies hit a three-run homer over the 400-foot sign in dead center field.

The Huskies, 19-32, battled back with single runs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. Carlin's two-out single in the seventh scored Brad Czarnowski, who had doubled, to cut the Towson lead to 7-4.

Ben Beck greeted Towson reliever Jason Walter in the eighth inning with a 420-foot home run to center field to make it 7-5. Walter had relieved Towson starter and winner Bryan Rogers, 7-2, who allowed eight hits and four runs while striking out five and walking two in seven innings.

Hernan Guerrero led off the top of the ninth inning with a single through the right side and drove Walter, who allowed four hits and two runs in an inning of work, from the game. Jason Summerlin promptly delivered a wild pitch to advance Guerrero to second base. Carlin singled to right field to score Guerrero and the Huskies trailed, 7-6. Coley O'Donnell singled to center field to put runners at first and second with no outs. Summerlin then got Beck to fly to center with Carlin advancing to third with one out. Designated hitter Jordan Thomson, who earlier in the day had pitched eight innings in the Huskies' 5-4 win over Maine, then grounded to short to start a game-ending double play.

Northeastern had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Guerrero led off the game with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout by Beck.

The Tigers answered with two in the third. McKenna doubled to right center to lead off the inning and Tom Trela bunted for an infield hit. Jimmy Kittelberger delivered a one-out RBI single through the left side and Scott Bacon's two-out single scored Trela.

Towson added a run in the fourth when Avila's fielder's choice scored Marcozzi, who had also reached on a fielder's choice.

Northeastern tied it in the fifth when Czarnowski doubled to lead off the inning. Guerrero followed with an RBI single through the left side. Carlin singled to put runners at the corners and O'Donnell delivered a sacrifice fly.

Ken Henry, who allowed seven runs and 10 hits in six innings, took the loss for the Huskies to fall to 4-5.

Delaware and Towson will meet for the second time in the tournament. The Blue Hens Vic Sage pitched a complete-game seven-hiter as Delaware advanced to the championship game with a 4-1 win over the Tigers.
