Hawks Take Two from Lakers

Hawks Take Two from Lakers

On the final day of the series, the Hawks looked to sweep while the Lakers looked to find a split in the series. In game 1 of the double header Northeast jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Lakers would respond in the second inning with a run of their own. Devin Bracken (Tampa, Florida) would lead things off with a double over the left fielders head and would score on a Dean Bedell (Treynor, Iowa). Both Lineups would be held to 3 scoreless innings a piece until the Hawks would explode for 5 runs in the 5th inning bring the score to 6-1. Iowa Lakes would add one in the 6th inning with a Chipper Holland (Tampa, Florida) single up the middle. Holland would advance to second base on a wild pitch; Brackin would score Holland on a RBI single to left field to make it 6-2. In the 7th inning Austen Daliet (New Orleans, Louisiana) would reach on a walk and would move up to second base on a bad throw the first, and would move to third on wild pitch. Beau Sackett (Malcolm, Nebraska) would bring in Daliet with a RBI fielder's choice, but the Hawks would win 6-3.

 

Logan Ferguson (Idaho, Falls Idaho) got the start and went 5 1/3 with 4 hits, 3k's and giving up 3 earned runs. Jacob Buffington (Bogart, Georgia) came in and threw .2 innings allowing 0 hits and 0 k's.

 

The Northeast Hawks built up a 9-0 lead going into the 7th inning. The Lakers looked to minimize the lead, but could only scratch across 1 run. Alex Pavon (Bellevue, Nebraska) would double over the left fielders head and would score on a RBI single to right field by Trevor Bormann (Algona, Iowa) , but that is all Iowa Lakes would get as Northeast won game 4 by a score of 9-1.

 

Jacob Myer (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was on the bump in game 4. Myer would go 4 inning's allowing 5 runs and striking out 3. Lucas Gardner (Estherville, Iowa) threw 2 innings allowing 2 runs and striking out 4 batters.
