There seems to be a common theme in each game this year for the Northgate baseball team and it was not any different when the Flames hosted North Catholic on Wednesday.

Northgate was limited to five hits offensively and committed nine errors in the field as they were beaten soundly, 11-2.

North Catholic took advantage of a couple of base hits and a ball hit through the Flames’ left side of the diamond to lead 2-0 after the first inning.
