After flying high against Trinity Leadership on Friday, Greenhill came back down to earth. The Greenhill Hornets fell just short of the Texas Alliance of Christian Athletes Storm by a score of 6-5 on Friday. If the Hornets were looking for revenge after losing 6-3 to the Storm when the teams met back in March of 2023, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Connor Lee was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. That triple was his first of the season.
Lee wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cooper Rabin, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Even though they lost, Greenhill was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .381 or higher in three consecutive contests.
Greenhill has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last ten matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-10 record this season. Texas Alliance of Christian Athletes is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3-1 record this season.
Greenhill will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Cistercian at 4:30 p.m. on March 25th. Texas Alliance of Christian Athletes has already played their next contest (against UME Preparatory Academy), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
