The Northridge Grizzlies are on the road again on Friday to play the Windsor Wizards at 12:15 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Last Friday, everything went Northridge's way against Ponderosa as Northridge made off with a 17-9 win.
Brooke Riofrio made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Riofrio was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-4.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bo Tellez, who went 4-for-5 with three stolen bases, five runs, and five RBI. What's more, she also racked up four hits, the mostshe's had since back in September of 2023. Another player making a difference was Bailey McGeen, who went 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Northridge 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 hit at least 11 hits in three consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, Windsor had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.8 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. They beat the Lobos by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 10-0. Give the Wizards' pitching crew some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
Northridge has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 16-10 record this season. As for Windsor, their record is now 24-2.
Northridge might still be hurting after the 13-7 defeat they got from Windsor in their previous meeting back in September of 2017. Can Northridge avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
