Baseball

The NorthWood baseball team kept up its winning ways Friday night.

The Panthers, in the process, kept their place undefeated and atop the Northern Lakes Conference.

Drake Gongwer fired a gem on the hill to pace the hosts past Plymouth 1-0 in a key matchup of league powers.

Senior Gongwer went the distance for the Panthers as he recorded 14 strikeouts on the night.

NorthWood, which improved to 12-1 overall and moved to 6-0 in league play, plated the game’s lone run in the home half of the first inning. Vincent Herschberger drove in the only run of the contest.

Brant Mast had a pair of hits and Matt Dutkowski a double for NorthWood.

NorthWood hosts Bremen Saturday and returns to NLC action at Goshen Monday night.
