Hawks Snap Losing Streak With Sweep Over Emmanuel

ROME, Ga.- The Hawks snapped their losing skid this Tuesday with a dominating sweep of Emmanuel. The Hawks took care of business in game one with a 6-0 victory before earning a hard-fought 4-3 win in game two. The pair of wins improves Shorter to 13-30, and 7-15 in conference action. 

GAME ONE

Both sides engaged in a tight contest early, with the first four innings remaining scoreless as Rylee Gattis did a great job of holding the Lions at bay with solid pitching in the circle. The Hawks broke the silence in the fifth as Zariah Webb drove in a run on a sac fly to give Shorter the 1-0 lead. Shorter then broke open the lead in the top of the sixth with a pair of RBI from Brayleigh Leone and Webb. 

The Hawks added two more insurance runs on a walk with the bases juiced and a hit-by-pitch to make it 6-0 after the sixth. The Hawks held out the Lions from scoring in the final frame, as Gattis continued her excellent day in the circle, going a complete seven innings with no runs and just five hits with a strikeout. Shorter would hang on, completing the shutout.

GAME TWO

Much like game one, the Hawks struck first as Madison Hancock and Parker Smith drove in three runs in the bottom of the second to give the Hawks the early lead. The Lions were able to get on the board in the third after drawing a walk with the bases loaded. 


The Hawks were able to draw in another run in the sixth to make it 4-1 heading into the seventh. Emmanuel's offense found some life late, scoring a pair of runs to put a dent in the Shorter lead. Despite the late push, the Hawks were able to hang on, securing the 4-3 win to complete the shutout.
