Hawken and Beachwood are an even 4-4 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Hawks will welcome the Bison at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Hawken will aim to continue their four-game streak of scoring more runs each contest than the last.
Hawken came out on top against North on Saturday thanks in part to the team's impressive eight-run first inning. The Hawks blew past the Rangers 12-2. The result was nothing new for the Hawks, who have now won three matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.
Jacob Stovsky was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. Stovsky was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season.
