Greenhill is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Tuesday. They are taking a road trip to challenge the Cistercian Hawks at 4:30 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Friday, Greenhill didn't have quite enough to beat Texas Alliance of Christian Athletes and fell 6-5.
Connor Lee was huge no matter where he played even without the win. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. That triple marked the first that he hit this 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 matches.
Meanwhile, Cistercian was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They fell 4-0 to Southwest Christian School.
