While Hilltop put up some runs on Wednesday, the same can't be said for Pettisville. The Cadets came out on top against the Blackbirds by a score of 4-0. The Cadets' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last four contests.
Kelsy Connolly was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 16 over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one triple and one RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.
Connolly wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Halle Jones, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double. Giada Rising was another, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.
Hilltop has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.4 runs over those games. As for Pettisville, their loss ended a five-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-6.
Looking ahead, Hilltop will face off against Blissfield at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Cadets' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Royals have averaged an impressive 7 runs per game this season. Pettisville has already played their next game (against Archbold), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
