Northwest extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to nine on Saturday, dropping them down to 0-6. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Belmont Bison. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Bison this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-0 on Saturday.
As for Belmont, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 3-0. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average this season.
For Belmont's part, the team relied heavily on Gavin Bradley, who got on base in both of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Bradley is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last eight games he's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Carter Blankenship, who got on base in both of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
