Braxton Nagy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up eight Ks. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Northridge is undefeated when he allows at most two walks, but 7-8 otherwise.

On the hitting side, Brecken Gawthrop was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with four stolen bases, four runs, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April. Brody Wood was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one double.

Northridge is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Concord, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Northridge is set to face off against their familiar foe Wawasee at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The timing is sure in the Raiders' favor as the squad sits on four straight wins at home while the Warriors have been banged up by six consecutive losses on the road.
