The Hawks blew past the Guardians 9-1. The result was nothing new for the Hawks, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Colton Azevedo was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 3-for-5.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Xaviar Gordon, who scored two runs while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Carson Groh, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
