Looking to clinch the division against George Brown, the Hawks were trailing by two with five outs left in the game. Dei Banning hit his second homer of the week, a two-run shot to tie the game. In his third season with Humber, Dei Baning has tied Brian MacDonald with the most home runs in program history.
