The Becker Bulldogs are taking a road trip to face off against the North Branch Vikings at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
On Tuesday, Becker came up short against St. Francis and fell 5-2. The loss continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their meetings with the Fighting Saints: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, North Branch unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 7-2 to Benilde-St. Margaret's two weeks ago. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
Becker was able to grind out a solid victory over North Branch when the teams last played back in April of 2024, winning 6-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
