After flying high against Calhoun City last Saturday, Houston came back down to earth. The Houston Hilltoppers fell 15-12 to the Bruce Trojans on Monday. The Hilltoppers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Trojans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Kendall Burt led a balanced group of hitters, scoring a run while going 3-for-5. The team also got some help courtesy of Cydnee Webb, who scored three runs while going 3-for-4.
