IN SHORT
Despite five straight losses, the Hilltoppers know that when they win, they win big. After defeating Plainfield in their season opener, 20-0, Summit struck again and regained their confidence in their 14-2 victory. Their best inning came in the third, when nearly the entire team got two chances at the plate. After taking a 13-run lead, it was a matter of playing good defense to close out the game in five innings.
