15 must be Hardaway's lucky number: they beat Carver with that score not once but twice on Friday. The Hawks didn't even let the Tigers on the board, marking the Hawks' second-straight 15-0 shutout. Considering the Hawks have won 12 contests by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Jayden Foster made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases.

In other batting news, Hardaway got a massive performance out of Dario Ladriye, who scored two runs and stole five bases while going 2-for-2. What's more, Ladriye posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in February. Another player making a difference was Christian Eleby, who scored two runs and stole five bases while getting on base in both of his plate appearances.

The win made it two in a row for Hardaway and bumps their season record up to 14-7. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Carver, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-10.
