Hebron's found some homefield redemption this week after a overtime loss to Wheeler on Friday. The Hawks narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Westville Blackhawks 7-6. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Hawks also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2024.
Cade Hildebrandt looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Pete Socci and Camden Mulhern did most of the damage at the plate: Socci went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run, while Mulhern got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one run and one RBI. That RBI was Mulhern's first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Josh Kenda, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one double.
