Baseball Game Preview: Hillhouse Academics vs. Derby Red Raiders

The Hillhouse Academics will head out to take on the Derby Red Raiders at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Hillhouse is headed into Tuesday's match looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their sixth straight game dating back to last season on Friday. They came up short against Morgan, falling 21-4.

Meanwhile, Derby took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Monday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-5 victory over Kolbe-Cathedral.

The team relied heavily on Jayzair Barbera, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Brooklyn Fernandez was another key player, going 2-for-3 with four RBI and one stolen base.

Hillhouse might still be hurting after the 11-1 loss they got from Derby in their previous matchup back in April of 2019. Can Hillhouse avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
