Hill School was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their seventh straight defeat. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 6-5 heartbreaker at the hands of the Peddie Falcons.

That RBI marked the first that Rushin has brought in this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Jonathan Moore, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
