Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northgate). They blew past the Dutchtown Bulldogs 26-0 on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Vikings considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
Ella Coburn looked comfortable as she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Those nine strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
At the plate, Northgate got a massive performance out of Trinity Hargrett, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three stolen bases, and four runs. Those four runs gave Hargrett a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Makenzie Khaler, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and one stolen base.
Northgate kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Northgate is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.1 runs over those games. As for Dutchtown, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-10.
Coming up, Northgate will be playing in front of their home fans against McIntosh at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Vikings' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Chiefs have averaged an impressive 8.3 runs per game this season. As for Dutchtown, they will venture away from home to take on Lovejoy at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
