Mark Nikolauk was dominant on the mound for the Hawks by allowing just two runs on one hit and three strikeouts in four innings of work to secure the win.

The Hawks were tied with Shallowater going in to the top of the seventh inning before the Mustangs exploded for five runs to ultimately win the game.

Weishuhn, Brock Rosenquist and Dryden Virden each put up two hits for the Hawks. 

Wall used five pitchers in the game, including four in the final frame. Baylor Halfmann started the game for Wall and went six full innings allowing five hits, three runs and three strikeouts but was not charged with the loss.
