Northgate hasn't had much luck against Benicia recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Broncos are taking a road trip to take on the Panthers at 4:30 p.m. Northgate is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.9 runs per game this season.
Northgate is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 11 runs on Tuesday, they were much more limited against Clayton Valley Charter on Thursday. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Ugly Eagles. The Broncos have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Northgate saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Sophie Hanko, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Benicia let College Park stack four runs on them in the second inning on Thursday but luckily Benicia prevailed anyway. The Panthers narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Falcons 7-6. The Panthers haven't had any issues with the Falcons recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
Kaity Nichols was excellent, going 3-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. Those three hits gave her a new career-high. Leilani Andrews was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Benicia hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in three consecutive games.
Benicia's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-7. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Northgate, their loss dropped their record down to 6-9.
Northgate's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's matchup. The Broncos have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Benicia, though, as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Northgate continue to outrun the ball?
Northgate might still be hurting after the 11-1 defeat they got from Benicia in their previous matchup back in February of 2024. Can the Broncos avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
