The Northridge Raiders will square off against the NorthWood Panthers at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Northridge is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.7 runs per game this season.
On Monday, Northridge earned a 5-2 win over Goshen.
Braxton Nagy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Northridge's victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Aveary Johnson, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple was Johnson's first of the season.
Meanwhile, NorthWood didn't have quite enough to beat Concord on Monday and fell 8-7. The Panthers haven't had much luck with the Minutemen recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Connor Reed and Landon Perry did some serious damage despite the final result: Reed went 1-for-4 with three RBI and one triple, while Perry went 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Nathan Shrock, who went 1-for-3 with two runs.
Northridge has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for NorthWood, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-3.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Northridge has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like NorthWood struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Northridge skirted past NorthWood 3-2 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Do the Raiders have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
