Westmont Hilltop extended their winning streak to four on Wednesday, bumping their season record up to 8-1 in the process. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 9-8 W against the Forest Hills Rangers. Nine seems to be a good number for the Hilltoppers as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Liz Veranese was incredible, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and two runs. Another player making a difference was Cali Lynch, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Westmont Hilltop kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in five consecutive games.

Having lost for the first time this season, Forest Hills fell to 8-1. The loss was their first of the season.

On Forest Hills' side, Taylor Snyder made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two doubles, and one run. Mylee Gdula was another key player, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Westmont Hilltop will face off against Hollidaysburg at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Golden Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.18 runs per game on average), something the Hilltoppers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Forest Hills, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Penns Valley Area at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Rams' pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so the Rangers' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
