Riverhawks lose to the Giants
The Mosquito OBA Riverhawks lost a heart breaker to the Corunna Giants tonight. The game was a pitching and defensive showdown. In the end the Giants walked off the Hawks in the bottom of the 7th for a 4-3 victory after the Riverhawks battled back to tie it in the top of the 7th. The Hawks defense was stellar all around but the bats were kept in check by the Giants pitchers.


Duncan did a outstanding job pitching for the Riverhawks, throwing 5 complete innings. He had many of the Giants hitters waving at pitches all night. Van Gorp came into to pitch the final 2 innings, needing only 5 pitches to complete the 6th inning.
The offense was held in check most of the night but Irwin and Minten came up with big hits to get the Hawks back in the game.
The road to OBA's got a little tougher tonight but we will throw our best at Dresden next week and hopefully get back in the win column. These boys deserve it after our most exciting game of the year, unfortunately we came out the the losing end this time.
Hold your heads high boys!
Go Riverhawks!!!!!
