Millard North barely beat Burke the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Mustangs' pitchers stepped up to hand the Bulldogs a 10-0 shutout on Thursday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Mustangs also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

Brandon Berge looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Alexander Michaud was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Marcus Hankins, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles, one stolen base, and one run.

The victory made it two in a row for Millard North and bumps their season record up to 12-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Burke, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-13.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Millard North will host Papillion-LaVista at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Monarchs will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Mustangs surely won't give up without a fight. As for Burke, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Fremont at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.47 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
