Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northeast). They put the hurt on the Oswego Indians with a sharp 16-1 win on Thursday. The Vikings haven't had any issues with the Indians recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.
Spencer Wade made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Northeast's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Jayden Wetzel was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and one stolen base. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was Tayven Willard, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
Northeast was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .476. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .318 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
Northeast pushed their record up to 6-7 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Oswego, they are on a 22-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-11.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Northeast beat the Indians by a score of 16-1 later that day.
