Heights overwhelmed by Northwestern
Hamilton Heights dropped a 10-0 game at Northwestern on Thursday.
Sydney Massicotte had the lone hit for the Huskies.
“We had an off night tonight which was disappointing coming off the good game we had the night before,” said Heights coach Landi Lockwood. “We were making contact at the plate but kept hitting fly balls which didn’t give us any chance to get our offense going. Twelve of our 16 at bats were popups. “We need to start being more consistent from night to night. Right now we will have a great night and then have a terrible night and just can’t get on a roll. We have a lot of potential and a lot of games left so I’m hoping we can gain some confidence soon and keep moving forward.”
