Hawks Win Second Playoff Game Big
The Hawley Hawks earned their second playoff win of the postseason after hosting the Frazee Flames. The first Hawk playoff win was an impressive 10-2 win over the Pelican Rapids Lakers. Frazee hoped to fare better against Hawley, but things didn't go too well for the Flames. Hawley jumped out to an amazing 11-0 after just one inning. The Hawks then tacked on six more in the second, taking a 17-0 lead. Frazee answered with two runs before Hawley put up six more in the third inning. This gave Hawley a 23-2 lead after three innings. The game would actually go just five innings due to Frazee not having enough players. The final score was 23-5 in favor of the Hawks.

Tom Branca later smacked a single and Justin Grafsgaard drew a bases loaded walk. The Hawks then put the game away in the eighth, scoring four more runs. The inning was highlighted by a double from Cory Mattson and hits from Justin Grafsgaard and Nicolai Baer. Justin Grafsgaard went the distance on the mound for the Hawks.
