Riverside North has an 8-4 lead over Lakewood going into the seventh inning of the Division 1 final. If the Huskies win, it will be because they’ve made a series of tough defensive plays.

Center fielder Steven Pena came up with two big-league catches in the sixth inning. Shortstop Gabriel Franca made another big-league play catching a line drive earlier in the game.
