2018 Comes To An End
After a handful of rain outs, the Hawks and the Martingrove Sox settled on a 1 game take all in lieu of their 2 out of 3 series on Thursday night. Ryan Fedrigo got the nod against GTBL Pitcher of the Year front runner Mike Bannon. Both pitchers had their A games going as the game would find itself tied 1-1 after 5 innings. After a Matt Peluso homerun in the 6th, the Hawks would tie it up 2-2 in the 8th when Troy McLaughlin cashed in Kevin Holloway with an RBI single. Martingrove took the lead again in the 9th and although the Hawks would load the bases in the 9th, the rally fell short and the season was over. Both pitchers went the distance as the Hawks lost 3-2.
Hawk Droppings:
-Hawks pitchers threw 4 complete games in their last 7 outings
-Dan Lehmkuhl had 2 of the Hawks 3 steals as the team finished with 122 SB on the season
-Ryan Fedrigo hit the 40/40 mark of sorts with the CG as he finishes the season with 57 AB's (batting .368) and 42 1/3 INN (3.19 ERA)
