Haley Major was the key factor from the plate for the Toppers as she belted two-two run homers in the third and fifth innings. The Cardinals would cut the game to 3-2 in the top of the fifth but that would be as close as they would come as a strong outing from SLU commit Kai Hanner on the mound would slow the Plains’ bats. Hillsboro would beat Plains by a 5-2 score to secure their spot in the Litchfield sectional final this Saturday.
