Hillcrest had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Perris Panthers as they made off with a 13-1 win. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.

James Henson was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Niko Bernal, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4.

Henson wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Hillcrest kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Perris only managed one hit.

Hillcrest pushed their record up to 8-4-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Perris, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-7.
