The Northview Wildcats will be playing in front of their home fans against the Whitmer Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Whitmer is hoping to do on Monday what Southview couldn't on Friday: put an end to Northview's winning streak, which now stands at six games. Northview had just enough and edged Southview out 4-3. That's two games straight that Northview has won by just one run.
Bradon Thrush spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up eight Ks. It was the first time this season that he tossed five or more strikeouts.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Christian Berling, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Connor Draper, who went 2-for-3 with a stolen base.
Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Whitmer ultimately got the result they hoped for last Friday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Ross 5-3.
Northview pushed their record up to 14-2 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home. As for Whitmer, their win bumped their record up to 11-3.
