The team relied heavily on Lilly Porter, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Addie Sanders, who scored a run while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

North Central kicked off their season on the road on Thursday and hit a couple of potholes. They lost 18-5 to Antwerp.

Gracie Zuver made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1. Another player making a difference was Emmi Hollstein, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Everything went Hicksville's way against North Central in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Hicksville made off with a 10-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hicksville since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
