Hilbert came into Saturday's game having lost three straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They had just enough and edged the Gillett Tigers out 8-7.
Brody Hein was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Hein was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
Hein wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Drew Halbach, who went 1-for-3 with a stolen base. Brady Plate was another key contributor, scoring a run while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Hilbert's win ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 4-9.
Hilbert didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next match, a 15-2 victory vs. Three Lakes/Phelps on the 4th. Gillett does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
