ROME -- The Hawks cruised to a 19-0 win over Clark Atlanta Wednesday afternoon to sweep the season series with the Panthers.

The Hawks got the scoring started in the bottom of the first; scoring three times as Blaze Vazquez tallied an RBI double to center field, and came in on a ground out from Luis Acevedo. Before, William Winslow added the inning's final run on a wild pitch.

Shorter added to it in the second, with three more runs, for the 6-0 score. First, as Hugh York scored when Winslow was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Then, as Acevedo delivered a 2-RBI single to left field to bring in Vazquez and Winslow.

Vazquez connected on his first homerun of the game to make it a 7-0 game in the fourth, before Dustin Lawson brought in two on a base hit to left field later in the inning.

Up 9-0 in the fifth, Shorter made it 14-0 with five runs. Raul Cortes doubled to start things off, and scored when Bailey Gerstner followed with a single to left field. Shorter then loaded the bases and Nate Butterworth brought in Gerstner on a sacrifice fly to left field. And, after loading the bases, Isaiah Maddela delivered a three-run double to right field for the 14-0 score.
