The Haverhill Hillies are taking a road trip to take on the Dracut Middies at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Haverhill is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.
Haverhill had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 25-run drubbing they dealt Lawrence on Monday. The Hillies were the clear victors by a 25-0 margin over the Lancers. The Hillies' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Bella Lebucha (2028) made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high.
