They put the hurt on the Blissfield Royals with a sharp 8-2 victory. Considering the Cadets have won 16 matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Isabella Ackley, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Kelsy Connolly, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Hilltop's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 19-3. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Blissfield, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
