Concord extended their losing streak to six on Tuesday, dropping them down to 6-13. They fell 4-1 to the Northgate Broncos. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bears of the 13-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
Justin Tougeron spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, Concord saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Avery Down, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base.
As for Northgate, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 13-6. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
On Northgate's side, Loukas Contreas looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. Contreas has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Mason Mierzwa, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one double. Those two hits gave him a new career-high.
While Concord had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
