Apollo came out on top against Browne on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive 14-run first inning. The Hawks were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Bruins. The Hawks' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Angel Hernandez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. 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, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs. Those runs marked the first that he has scored this season.

The team also got some help courtesy of Roberto Quinonez, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
