The quarter-finals were not kind to the Hawks as they lost for the third time this season to Somersworth 13-1. Junior Sam McManus had a hard time getting ahead of Somersworth batters allowing 5 runs (4 earned) in the first 2 innings and Junior Jay White gave up 2 solo homeruns in the 3rd and 4th innings. Trailing 7-1 after 5 Somersworth exploaded for 3 homeruns and 6 runs in the bottom of the 6th to win the game. Offensively freshman Jake Nelson knocked in the only Hawk run with a sacrifice fly in the second. Jay White, Sam McManus, Colin O'Keeffe, Steve Auger and Nate Greabe each connected for 1 hit on the afternoon. The Hawks return 16 players next season so the future looks bright.
Somersworth moves on to play Winnisquam in the State Semi-Finals
