Norfolk State wins 13th-straight game; defeat Richmond

RICHMOND, Virginia — Norfolk State continued its record-setting pace on Tuesday. The Spartans defeated the Richmond Spiders 12-5 for their 13th consecutive win.

NSU scored four runs in the first inning, four in the fifth and three more in the sixth. It was the Spartans first win over Richmond.

The Spartans entered the day tied with Alabama State for the second-longest winning streak in the nation at 12 in a row. Only Illinois (13 straight) had a longer streak entering the day. Both Illinois and Alabama State play later Tuesday evening.

The Spartans return to MEAC play with a three-game series at UMES on Saturday and Sunday. NSU can wrap up the No. 1 seed from the MEAC Northern Division this weekend.
