Division 3              Hawthorne 17                 Spruce Creek 8

Hawthorne’s Division 3 team traveled to Spruce Creek and used their firepower to win easily.

Both teams started out with 5-run innings.   Spruce Creek pulled ahead with two in the bottom of the third inning, but Hawthorne took the lead right back in the fourth with Rick Levasseur’s 3-run homer.

That effectively ended the game as Spruce Creek scored a single run in the bottom of the fourth and “zeroed out” the rest of the way.

Hawthorne	5	0	0	3	4	0	0	5	17
Spruce Creek	5	0	2	1	0	0	0	0	8

The game saw two homeruns by Hawthorne.   Levasseur’s in the fourth inning and Sam Giovinco’s in the eighth (also a 3-run shot).

Rich Levasseur (3 for 3) also hit a triple in the game.   George Mann, Dave Bowers, and Carl Roszak delivered doubles.

Carl was 3 for 3.   Steve Becker and John Watts were 3 for 4.

Division 5              Holiday Resort   14                        Hawthorne 13

Hawthorne crossed Rte. 27 to take on Holiday Resort in a very close contest.    Hawthorne drew first blood with 2 runs in the first inning.    Holiday caught up in the second with 4 runs and followed in with another 4-run inning to take an 8 to 5 lead.

Hawthorne chipped away at that lead and finally took it away with a 5-run fifth inning.    The visitors now led 12-8.    Both teams got a run over the next two innings and Hawthorne still enjoyed a 4 run lead.   Holiday got the last at bat and used it to put up 5 runs and walk off with the win.

Division 3              Hawthorne   13               @ Stonecrest   11

Hawthorne’s Division 3 team had won the game after 2 innings but didn’t know it.   They were ahead 8-1.   Stonecrest didn’t score another run until the sixth but they finished strong with 10 runs in their last 3 at bats.   Alas, it wasn’t enough as Hawthorne had run up 5 MORE runs before the home team started to rally.

Rick Enright was 1 for 1 – his hit was a double and he drew TWO walks.

Division 5              Lakes at Leesburg    13       Hawthorne   2

A poor offensive showing in front of a home crowd.    Hawthorne’s Division 5 team struggled to get hits, managing only 10 in 8 innings.

Lakes at Leesburg took control with a 5 runs first inning, then didn’t score again until the fifth.    Hawthorne manage 1 run in each of the first two innings but posted a string of zeros the rest of the game.

Division 6              Del Webb   24                   Hawthorne 8     (7 innings)

Hawthorne’s Division 6 team hung on as long as possible against a freely scoring Del Webb team.    They were behind 15-6 at the halfway point of the game and the visitors had a 5-run inning in the fifth.   Del Webb continued scoring until the game was stopped (MERCY RULE) after 7 innings.

Hawthorne’s team was missing a couple of key starters.
