Chilton was handed a 12-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Valders Vikings 3-2.

On the hitting side, Chilton secured the win behind a pair of hitters. One of them was Olivia Hoefner, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
