Hillcrest Head Coach Russ Riches said, “There are several players that played their first Fastpitch game ever.  They are learning how to work together as a team and they are learning more about the game.  I was pleased with the effort of the girls.  They gave their best effort and learned from each situation.  There were some positive highlights today.  Ava Lindgren was on base every time.  She drew a walk or was hit by a pitch in every plate appearance and she also stole 7 bases and scored our only run.  Madi Foss did a courageous job on the mound.  She gave her best effort and her leadership was outstanding.  There were great plays made by Ava Lindgren and Ava Renner, and Amelia Lindgren played very hard behind the plate as she is learning the position.”

Hillcrest will play at Hancock on Thursday.
