Baseball Recap: Northridge Beats Warsaw for Their Third Straight Victory

Northridge extended their winning streak to three on Wednesday, bumping their season record up to 7-5 in the process. They had just enough and edged out the Warsaw Tigers 4-2. Four seems to be a good number for the Raiders as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Braxton Nagy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on ten hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Northridge is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 4-5 otherwise.
