Baseball Recap: Northern Gets the Win

While Northern put up plenty of runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Great Mills. Northern didn't even let Great Mills on the board, marking Northern's second-straight 11-0 shutout. Considering the Patriots have won four games by more than ten runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Nick Barsczewski tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over 4.2 innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Miles Halbert and Connor Renzi did most of the damage at the plate: Halbert went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Renzi scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That triple marked the first that Halbert hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Tony Holson, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
