Montpelier has gone a perfect 9-0 against Hilltop recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Locomotives will head out to face off against the Cadets at 5:00 p.m. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Montpelier saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Hayden Sharps, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. Those two stolen bases gave Sharps a new career-high. Griffin Cooley was another, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-2.

In other batting news, Micah Rossman was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run and five RBI. Another player making a difference was Devin Dempsey, who scored a run while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.

Montpelier took their victory against Hilltop in their previous meeting back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 12-5 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Locomotives since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
