The Hillcrest academy baseball team held firm defensively and took advantage of mistakes by Winfield-Mt. Union to grit out a 2-1 victory Monday night.
The Wolves jumped out to a 1-0 lead thanks to an RBI single from pitcher Trevor Phillips, but they left a window open in the bottom of the fourth that the Ravens took advantage of.
A single and an error allowed Lincoln Miller and Rylan Good to reach base representing the tying and go-ahead runs. Another error on a Kellen Miller chopper scored Lincoln and advanced Good to third. Good saw an opportunity on a passed ball and took it, sliding safely into home for what ended up being the winning run.
Beckett Miiller came in to shut the door, collecting a save with two shutout innings to end the game.
The loss broke a two-game losing streak for the Ravens, who lost to Central Lyon and Saint Ansgar in a tournament in Waterloo over the weekend.
