The Hillcrest Academy Raven baseball team defended the home diamond Monday with an 8-2 win over visiting Louisa-Muscatine. After a single Raven run in the first for the early advantage, L-M pushed across single runs in the third and fifth before Hillcrest got hot, with a seven-run sixth to erase the deficit and run away with the win. After his two-homer day on Saturday against top five Kee, Seth Ours had another big night with two hits and two driven in to lead the way for the Ravens. Liam Schrock, Luke Schrock, Josiah Beachy, Mason Bender and Rowan Miller all had a run batted in. Ours recorded the victory on the hill working six and two thirds, allowing eight hits, two runs and punching out 11 on 91 pitches. With the win, Hillcrest completes a season sweep of L-M. Raven baseball stands at 7-8 on the season.

The Raven softball team was swept by the Falcons for the season, dropping their contest with No. 8 in 2A L-M 12-4. With the loss, Hillcrest softball is 4-11 on the season. The Raven boys and girls travel to Mediapolis for Southeast Iowa Superconference action Tuesday.
