The Hawks split a crucial doubleheader with St. Clair (3-1, 3rd OCAA) down in Windsor against the defending provincial champions. After dropping game one, Brandon Deans earned his first victory as Hawks, going the distance and striking out 10. Hudson Lockwood and Dylan White paced the way at the dish, recording two RBIs each.
