It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Del Norte had no problem doing just that on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-1 victory over the Carlsbad Lancers. For the Nighthawks, this counts as revenge for the 4-2 win the Lancers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Cole Hoffman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on six hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Del Norte's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Grey Gusich, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
Del Norte has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 18-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Carlsbad, they dropped their record down to 17-12 with the defeat, which was their third straight at home.
As of now, neither Del Norte nor the Lancers have any future games scheduled.
