Northeast is a perfect 10-0 against Southern since April of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Eagles will challenge the Bulldogs at 4:45 p.m. One thing working in Northeast's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last three contests.

Northeast's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. Everything went their way against Glen Burnie as they made off with a 10-0 win. The victory continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Gophers: they've now won five in a row.

Presley McGinty made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Madison Burris, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Hayden Flasinski also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Northeast was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .400 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, after soaring to ten runs the game before, Southern was a bit more limited in their contest on Wednesday. They fell just short of North County by a score of 3-1. The Bulldogs have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
