There's no place like home for Harmon, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They were the clear victors by a 13-0 margin over the Highland Park Scots on Tuesday. The Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by ten runs or more this season.

Gibson Miller was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Harmon is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 7-13 otherwise. Miller was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brandon Anfinson, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with six stolen bases, four runs, and one RBI. He has become a key player for Harmon: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two stolen bases, but 7-13 otherwise. Dylan Munoz was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

Harmon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .444. They are 7-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Harmon's record now sits at 11-13. As for Highland Park, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 12 of their last 16 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-14-2 record this season.

Harmon will venture away from home to face off against Wyandotte at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Hawks are facing the Bulldogs at the right time seeing as the Bulldogs are stuck on a seven-game losing streak. As for Highland Park, they will welcome Washington at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.77 runs per game on average), something the Scots will no doubt try to take advantage of.
