After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Lewisburg, Northside was happy to have turned things around on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 win over the Piedmont Bulldogs. While the Patriots didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
The team relied heavily on Cayden Clay, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that he launched this season.
Northside has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Piedmont and nudges their season record down to 3-3.
Coming up, Northside will challenge Griffin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Piedmont, they will face off against Pell City at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
