Alta had lost three straight, but after bumping their record up to 6-8 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Skyline Eagles, sneaking past 12-11. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Hawks have posted since May 7, 2025.

The team relied heavily on Connor Swicegood, who went 3-for-5 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Alexandros Price, who got on base in four of his six plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Alta kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in four consecutive games.

As for Skyline, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-11. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games.

On Skyline's side, they got a good showing from Carson Atkinson, who tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Atkinson has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Hayes Marshall led a balanced group of hitters, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Cole Muse, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Alta will have a chance to go back-to-back against Skyline: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
