The Calvert Hawks hit their way to victory over Harundale 15-4, in a 5 inning game Monday night.  The start of the game was delayed because the visiting team was caught in a bad traffic jam. 

The Hawks bats were ready and raring to go, wasting no time by jumping on Harundale early with big hits.  Chris Gaines led the big hit barrage.  The "Big Lefty" hit 2 home runs on the night.  The first inning 2-run shot was one of the longest ever hit at Wrighton Road, landing in the top of the trees in center field.  His second 2-run 'tater was an opposite field shot.

Twice, Vinnie Bowles hit the ball as far as possible without getting a HR.  In the first inning, Bowles hit the top rail of the fence in right field, the ball bouncing back into play.   He then flew out to the left fielder standing at the fence.

Bret Blevins had 2 hits, a double, and a walk off, 3-run homer in the 5th inning. Other Calvert players with multiple hits included: Bowles, Gaines, Matt Beyer, and Ronnie Plew.  The team registered 15 hits on the night, their highest output of the season.

On the mound, Jake Cox started and pitched very well.  He pitched 3 innings and only gave up 3 hits.  Blevins pitched the final 2 innings, and was virtually unhittable.  He struck out 4 and was credited with the win.

Next game, Wednesday at Chesapeake HS, against Lake Shore.

Sunday, June 17

An outstanding pitching performance by Matt Beyer, and 3 doubles were not enough to help the Hawks down the undefeated Severna Park "A."  Leading by a run in the 6th inning, Severna Park showed why they are on top of the league, by hitting a home run to tie the game and then hitting a one out triple in the bottom of the 7th that eventually led to the game winning run.  Beyer pitched 5 2/3 innings, striking out 4 and walking only 1.

Offensively, 3 doubles and 5 singles were all the Hawks earned at the plate.  Vinnie Bowles smashed 2 to left field and Ryan Chandlee tomahawked one to center field.  Both batters earned RbIs for their efforts.  Other RBIs were by Tyler Walton and Matt Beyer.

Next up is Harundle at Wrighton Road on Monday 6/18. 

Have a Happy Fathers Day!!!
