The Northeastern Bobcats are taking a road trip to take on the Susquehannock Warriors at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Northeastern has five straight victories, Susquehannock has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Northeastern had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt William Penn on Friday. The Bobcats' pitcher stepped up to hand the Bearcats an 11-0 shutout. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Bobcats considering their two-run performance the match before.
The team relied heavily on Brandon Charleston, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Derek Gross also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Northeastern hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in five consecutive games.
Meanwhile, Susquehannock didn't have quite enough to beat Kennard-Dale on Friday and fell 4-3.
Northeastern pushed their record up to 10-6 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Susquehannock, their loss dropped their record down to 9-9.
Northeastern skirted past Susquehannock 5-4 in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bobcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
