North Bend’s baseball team picked up a pair of wins last week.

Aidan Nelson had two hits and two runs and Joshio Stevens and Weston Moffitt also scored twice. Luke Wheeling had a double in North Bend’s six-run fourth inning.
Nelson also was effective on the mound, not allowing a walk until the fourth inning. He and Hunter Osuna combined to walk four and strike out eight.
