The Hawks trailed 2-0 early and cut the lead in half with a McManus rbi single in the third inning.  Jimmy Angell led off the inning by getting hit by a pitch, Matt Gleason layed down a nice sacrifice bunt and Nate Greabe moved Angell over to 3rd with a ball hit to the right side.  McManus then pulled a 1-1 pitch over the 1st basemans head to plate Angell.

In the 5th inning the Hawks scored the tieing run as well as the winning run when Nate Greabe got hit by a pitch and went to 2nd on a wild pitch.  McManus once again had a hard rbi single up the middle and then stole 2nd base.  After a wild pitch Sam Bonifant hit a ball to the right side allowing McManus to score the winning run.

The Hawks play Campbell Monday in Litchfield at 4pm.
