Northside entered their tilt with Lindblom on Monday with eight consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with nine. They blew past the Eagles 13-4. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won 15 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Rowan Yen made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. Yen was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Northside's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 8-9 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Northside let Elliot Weihing and Liam Schorr run wild. Weihing went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI, while Schorr went 2-for-4 with three RBI. That's the most runs Weihing has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Nate Chu, who earned three runs and one stolen base.

Northside kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in five consecutive matchups.

Northside pushed their record up to 18-9 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.6 runs over those games. As for Lindblom, they have been struggling recently as they've lost ten of their last 11 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 1-17-1 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Northside will take on Von Steuben at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mustangs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Panthers have averaged an impressive 6.5 runs per game this season. As for Lindblom, they will challenge Agricultural Science at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
