Northwood unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Trabuco Hills Mustangs by a score of 7-6 on Tuesday. The Timberwolves were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Mustangs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2024.
Northwood got a big performance out of Baylie Wong, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4. What's more, Wong also posted three hits, the most she's had since back in February of 2024. Natalie Keith was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.
Even though they lost, Northwood kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now hit at least eight hits in 11 consecutive games dating back to last season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Northwood will welcome Beckman at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Trabuco Hills, they will host Capistrano Valley at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
