North Branch is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Thursday. They will welcome the Becker Bulldogs at 5:00 p.m. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
After dropping their season opener at home, Becker is headed out to face a Vikings team ready to give their home crowd a win. North Branch fell 7-2 to Benilde-St. Margaret's two weeks ago. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
Meanwhile, Becker came up short against St. Francis on Tuesday and fell 5-2. The Bulldogs haven't had much luck with the Fighting Saints recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
North Branch couldn't quite get it done against Becker in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 as they fell 6-2. Will the Vikings have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
