Northridge had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Union Cougars by a score of 10-9. The Knights were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Cougars apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2024.
Cooper Tubbs and Ryan Small stepped up to the plate in a big way. Tubbs scored two runs while going 2-for-2, while Small scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Those two runs gave Tubbs a new career-high.
The victory was the seventh in a row (dating back to last season) for Union, bringing their record for this year to 2-0.
Coincidentally, Northridge and Union will both be playing Logan the next time they take the field. Union will head out to face Logan at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, while Northridge will play them later in the day, at 1:00 p.m.
