Wall had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 victory over the Henrietta Bearcats on Thursday. Winning may never get old, but the Hawks sure are getting used to it with their fifth in a row.
Gage Reichenau spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on two hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Gunnar Dillard, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run and one RBI. Hagyn Barbee was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one run.
