Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lake Minneola). They had just enough and edged out Lake Weir 9-8. While the Hawks didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-16), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
The team relied heavily on Giselle Mccormick, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Emma Quevedo, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.
