Hillsdale had lost six straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped down to 2-17 to make it seven. They lost 9-2 to the Dundee Vikings. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Colts of the 8-2 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
As for Dundee, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games.
For Dundee's part, Cam Fairchild spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up eight Ks. Fairchild also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because the Vikings are 4-2 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 3-5 otherwise.
At the plate, Angelo Graves and Brayden Mason did most of the damage at the plate: Graves got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one triple, and one run, while Mason went 3-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most stolen bases Graves has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Jack Foor, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs.
While Hillsdale had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
