Last time out vs George Brown

In their last meeting, Humber was coming off a spectacular performance by Daniel Marquez who no-hit the Huskies over his seven innings of work. Head Coach Denny Berni turned to right-hander Francis Toribio to start on the mound for the Hawks. Toribio was making his first start of the season and was superb tossing five innings, allowing two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts. In the sixth, Matt Stoddart came in for his first appearances of the season. Stoddart held the Huskies to one hit over his two innings of work with three strikeouts to silence the George Brown bats. Offensively, the Hawks were active early and often scoring all nine of their runs in the first four frames. Table setter, Liam Sutherland, got the Hawks going as he was 2-3 on the night with two runs scored. As well, outfielders Kenneth Hahnfeld and Dawson Fascia, along with infielder Stephen Andreopoulos all had two hits to add to the Hawks attack. Runs were scored by Liam Sutherland (2), Aaron Arbic-Cohen (2), Stephen Andreopoulos (2), Tyler Milton, Kenneth Hahnfeld, and Mitchell Wilbur.
