Hillcrest has gone 7-2 against Skyline recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Knights will venture away from home to square off against the Grizzlies at 4:00 p.m. One thing working in Hillcrest's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four games.
Hillcrest's pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. Everything went their way against Century as they made off with a 13-0 win. Considering the Knights have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Six must be Skyline's lucky number: they beat Century with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Grizzlies beat the Diamondbacks by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 6-3. The Grizzlies haven't had any issues with the Diamondbacks recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Caydence Holden spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Maggie Young, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two doubles and one run. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Kamree Christensen, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Hillcrest's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-7. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Skyline, their record is now 11-5-1.
Hillcrest beat Skyline 10-5 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
