Hawks Overcome 8 Run Deficit to Win

Schaumburg, IL: The Hawks went to Boomers Stadium this afternoon for a game against the Oakton Owls. The Hawks won 17-11 after trailing 0-8 and 5-11.

After going scoreless for four innings, the Hawks offense took on life starting with a hard hit single to center by Samuel Del Valle that scored Brian Jensen. Two batters later and with two outs, the Hawks went on a three run rally. Kaleb Nelson hit a single to left to score Del Valle and Josh Mathew. Quinton Johnston then tripled to bring in Nelson followed by a single by Kyle Odeshoo to score Johnston bringing the score to 5-8.

In the sixth now down 5-11, the Hawks went on another two out rally for five runs. Tommy Jusi singled to score Nelson, Johnston scored on a passed ball, and Del Valle hit a bases clearing double that brought in Jusi, Jensen, and Mathew.

Going into the seventh down 10-11, Jusi had another RBI single that brought in Johnston. Odeshoo also scored on a throwing error on the same play to give the Hawks the lead. Jensen hit a sacrifice ground out to bring in Jusi to make it 13-10.

The Hawks weren't done yet with big innings. In the eighth Cameron King singled to bring in Del Valle. In the next at-bat, Ethan Dorka hit a sacrifice fly to left to bring in Cole Ratliff. After a ground out moved King to third, he scored on a passed ball when Odeshoo was up to bat. On the next pitch, Odeshoo went deep with his third home run of the season to extend the lead to 17-11.
