Shouta Saito Game Report: @ Mira Costa

North came out on top against Mira Costa on Friday thanks in part to Shouta Saito's efforts. Saito turned in nothing short of a gem, striking out eight batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits.

Looking ahead, Saito and North will challenge Palos Verdes at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. North hasn't beaten Palos Verdes recently, having gone 0-10 since May of 2015.
