Northshore came tearing into Saturday's match with 15 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They had just enough and edged out the Jesuit Blue Jays 5-3. While the Panthers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 12-20), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jayden Hellmers, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI and one double. Kole Brackman also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Northshore's victory was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 16-1-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Jesuit, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-3-1.
