Last time out vs Conestoga

In their last meeting, head coach Duaine Bowles sent Rachel Matheson-Green to the rubber to ensure a sweep of the mid-week affair. Matheson-Green was exceptional again, as she built off her strong performance against Seneca. Through her 5 1/3 innings, Matheson-Green allowed no runs, on three hits and kept the Condors batters off balance throughout her outing. After a single by second basemen Makenna Ross, Coach Bowles went to the bullpen to bring in first-year pitcher Jheri Jamieson to hold the lead. Jamieson was effective in her 1 2/3 innings, facing the minimum and getting out of a jam in the sixth inning.

Through six innings, the Hawks bats were again relatively quiet. In the top of the seventh, the wheels fell off for the Condors and first-year pitcher Sydney Spicer, as the Hawks offence exploded for nine runs on seven hits. In the seventh, big hits by Kate Kostuch, Bonnie Gillingham, Maddie Pasma and a basing clearing triple by Meaghan Murphy to secure the victory for the Hawks. Every Hawk who was in the starting lineup got a hit in the contest. Humber wins 10-0.
