University has gone a perfect 10-0 against Preston recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Hawks will be playing in front of their home fans against the Knights at 5:00 p.m. Neither University nor Preston posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.

The Hawks wound up with the same score they had in their last game (4-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.

University saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Curtis Quarrick, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
