ROME- The Shorter Hawks baseball team suffered a series sweep against Belmont Abbey in their first weekend of conference play after a 24-5 loss on Saturday.

 
The Crusaders struck first, scoring on an error, but the Hawks were able to match their pace in the bottom of the first after an RBI double from Brooks McKenna and an RBI base on balls from Isaiah Sims. However, the Crusaders' offense would continue to mash throughout the next eight innings with seven doubles and two homers, resulting in a 24-5 final and a series sweep against Shorter.

The Hawks seek to right the ship as they begin a four-game road trip with a non-conference game at Augusta on Tuesday, followed by a three-game conference series at Francis Marion.
