ROME- After a dominant showing against non-conference Morehouse on Tuesday, the Hawks are back in the win column as they prepare to host the King Tornado for their fourth series of conference play this weekend. Shorter is looking to improve upon their 0-9 conference record, and carry with them the momentum gained after Tuesday's three-homer game and dominant bullpen pitching that resulted in a 16-5 Hawks win. 

 
The Hawks will host the Tornado at Robert E. Ledbetter Baseball Complex this weekend. Game one will commence on Friday, March 6th at 12:00 p.m. EST, with Games two and three taking place on March 7th at 12:00 p.m. EST and 3:00 p.m. EST, respectively. All games will have live stats available via StatBroadcast and will be streamed on the Conference Carolinas Digital Network.
