The 'Hawks got another pitching gem today while the bats finally woke up for a 15-2 victory in five innings.  Today's game featured lots of highlights.  Almost everyone in the order scored at least once except Charlie Hardesty who contributed a two-run double on his own.  Zach Morris had a single and a double with three RBI and scored four times; Josh Rowe had a double and two RBI; Bobby Hite had a double; and, JK White had three RBI including a double. 

From the mound, JK was terrific, giving up just 5 hits, walking none and striking out 6 Meade hitters.  In the third inning, the opening two Meade hitters singled but JK responded with three consecutive strikeouts to end the threat. 

The game also showed some serious leather being flashed.  In the fourth inning with a runner on second, Nick Whiting fielded a bouncer and quickly tagged the approaching runner before snapping a throw to first to complete a double play. 

But the best play of the game came at the end.  With a runner on first base and one out, the Meade hitter blasted a long fly ball to left center.  Ryan Schoenbauer sprinted back and to his right to make a brilliant diving catch.  He then jumped to his feet and fired the ball back into the infield where Jesse Holian was able to double up the surprised runner at first base to end the game.  Thus far, this is the defensive play of the season for the 'Hawks and was the perfect cap to an excellent game!
