Hawks Spoil the Party

Hawks spoil the Opening Night Party at Dehler Park to beat the Mustangs 16-2. 

The Mustangs suffered a career night for Ben Livorsi, who had a sac fly, an RBI double, a three-run home run, and a grand slam as he alone could have beat the Mustangs in run totals Tuesday.

Luke Trueman tossed a scoreless first, and gave up a pair of RBIs to Noah Marcello and Tyler Jorgensen. In the third, he gave up the Livorsi Sac-Fly. 

Unfortunately, Trueman couldn't finish the fourth as the Hawks bat through the order with an RBI single by Trevor Minder, a two-RBI double by Kole Kaler, an RBI double by DJ Poteet, and an RBI double by Livorsi. 

Trueman went three-and-two-thirds giving up eight runs on 12 hits with no walks and two strikeouts. 

Austin Mora retired five in a row, but ran into trouble with one out in the sixth. He gave up the three run homer by Livorsi to make it 12-0 Hawks. 

The Mustangs picked up their first run on back-to-back doubles by Alejandro Figueredo and Patrick Mills to make it 12-1. 

In the seventh, Riley Bost surrendered the grand slam to Livorsi to make it 16-1. 

Jonathan Haab pitched a scoreless eighth picking up two strikeouts. While Pat Mills, that's right, the position player, tossed a scoreless ninth with a pair of strikeouts. 

Taylor Lomack hit an RBI single to score Briley Knight who went 3-4 tonight. Lomack also stole a bag to give him nine on the season. He needs just 18 more to take the career record for most stolen bases by a Mustang in history. 

The Mustangs try again tomorrow for game two of a six-game homestand. It will be Warrior Wishes Wednesday. Everyone who shows a valid Military ID at the box office receives a $5 general admission ticket.
