Hilmar baseball topped Hughson 6-2 on Tuesday at home but failed to muster that same magic on Wednesday after a game that ended in a mercy-rule decision and gave the Yellowjackets their first league loss of the year. It was a tale of two opposites in Wednesday's Trans-Valley League showdown. Hughson junior pitcher Trace Thomas kept Hilmar off the scoreboard for over four innings and the bats were hot from the onslaught for the Huskies who toppled the Yellowjackets in an 11-1 mercy-rule win that ended in the bottom of the fifth.
