Northside coasts past Lakers

PINETOWN — Reg Bishop went 3-for-4 at the dish with three RBI to propel Northside to a 5-0 win — its 10th of the season — over Mattamuskeet on Monday.

Parker Boyd had a double, and James Barrow also contributed a hit. Laker pitcher Chase Williford was stingy in his 5 2/3 innings pitched, but the Panthers did manage to draw five walks from him.

Grant Talbot pitched three innings and Tanner Alligood chipped in with two frames. Boyd and Zach Woolard each tossed an inning, too. The Panther pitching staff conceded just two hits and a walk while striking out nine Lakers.

Northside jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The advantage remained marginal until the panthers plated two more in the fourth. Leading 3-0, they earned some breathing room with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth. Other than an error, the defense behind the pitchers was stout enough to blank the visitors.
