Hagerstown scored in the first inning, with Braylon Conner getting a lead-off base hit and stealing second, followed up by a walk by Quinn Illig and an RBI base hit by Ethan Shimmel. The Hawks held Mohawk Valley scoreless through four, and added 4 runs in the 7th and 2 runs in the 8th to seal the 9-5 win.
