Middletown barely beat Camp Hill the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Blue Raiders were the clear victors by a 16-6 margin over the Lions on Saturday. Considering the Blue Raiders have won seven games by more than nine runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Kenadee Hileman spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Journee Stover, who went 3-for-5 with one home run, two triples, and three runs. Those two triples gave her a new career-high. Delaney Fitzpatrick was another key player, going a perfect 5-for-5 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Middletown kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 28 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in six consecutive contests.
Middletown's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-5. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 20.0 runs over those games. As for Camp Hill, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-12.
Middletown does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Camp Hill, they will take on York Catholic at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. The Fighting Irish have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14.25 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of.
