The Hillcrest Academy softball team fell behind early, then rebounded to take a lead before ending up on the wrong end of a 12-5 score against Holy Trinity Catholic in West Point Friday. The Crusaders pushed across a first inning run and the Ravens countered with a three spot in the third with Stavia Miller, Malia Yoder and Esther Hughes all scoring as Hughes and Delaney Shaw provided RBI hits. The bottom half belonged to HTC, sending 11 hitters to the plate and scoring six times to wrestle back momentum at 7-3, and they would not give up the lead the rest of the night. The Ravens got one more in the fourth when Grace Miller singled and came home on a throwing air and a single run in the fifth when Hughes tripled and scored on a Crusader miscue.

HTC had 13 hits to the Ravens seven with Mary Hellige posting four and Brooke Mueller driving in three. Hellige also threw a complete game in the circle for the victory. Hughes and Shaw combined for three hits, three RBI and two runs scored for the Hillcrest attack. Malia Yoder took the loss in the circle in her first start of the season for Hillcrest. The Ravens are now 4-14 on the year.
