In an extremely well played game, the 'Hawks earned a 3-2 victory against Broadneck. Scoring all three of their runs in the fourth inning with two outs, South River batted around and came up with some clutch hitting by young players. Eric Aumann opened the inning with a double. After a ground out and a fly out, Josh Rowe singled home AJ McDonald who was running for Aumann. Nick Sia then singled on a swinging bunt and JK White walked to load the bases. Charlie Hardesty's single plated Rowe and kept the bases loaded for Ryan Schoenbauer who walked to deliver the eventual winning run.
The Bruins came roaring back in the top of the sixth with consecutive singles to open the inning. Then, Ryan Kroll - the Bruins' best hitter - ripped a double to left center. When the 'Hawks scrambled to attempt a play on the second runner at the plate, the low throw bounded over Bobby Hite's head. Fortunately, Aumann was exactly where he belonged - backing up the play - and he retrieved the ball to throw his most important strike to Nick Whiting covering third base to catch Kroll trying to advance. Without this throw and tag, Broadneck would have had the tying run at third with no outs!
Schoenbauer reached base four times from the lead off spot and Sia was outstanding at shortstop with six assists. Aumann was again terrific on the mound to earn his second win and reduce his ERA to 2.47 while striking out five and walking only one. Aumann walked the leadoff hitter in the seventh but settled down to induce a pop out and two strike outs to end the game.
