Northside had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Griffin on Tuesday. The Northside Patriots' pitchers stepped up to hand the Griffin Bears a 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won five contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Sam Laney was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero). He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.

In other batting news, Jase Shehane was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-1. Another player making a difference was Javion Windham, who scored two runs while going 1-for-4.

Northside always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Griffin only posted an OBP of .118.

Northside has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. Griffin's loss was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-8.

Northside will have a chance to go back-to-back against Griffin: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
