JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 9, 2014) – Hartford plated five runs in the fifth and eight more in the seventh as the Hawks rallied for an 18-6 series-clinching win over ETSU on Sunday afternoon at Thomas Stadium.

The Hawks took advantage of four errors by the Buccaneers, including a key fielding miscue that opened the flood gates in the fifth, while Hartford belted four home runs on the day moving their season total to five – all coming this weekend.

Billy Walker posted the first round tripper with a two-run blast in the first, while Adam Touhey and Ryan Lukach went yard in the eight-run seventh. Touhey, who went 3 for 6 with five RBI on Sunday, blasted a three-run homer and Lukach connected on a grand slam to putlast long as the Bucs pushed across four runs on four hits in the second to go ahead, 4-2. The first five ETSU hitters reached base as Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.), Trey York (Knoxville), and Mize registered singles, and Sorrow drove them all in as he split the gap in right-center for his first hit of the season. From there, Sanford was hit by a pitch – and after Brandon Moss (Atlanta, Ga.) laid down a sac-bunt – Sorrow scored on a fielder’s choice RBI by Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.), making it a two-run lead for the Blue and Gold.

Rice settled down after the two-run first inning as he kept the Hawks scoreless over the next three frames, but more fielding issues haunted the Blue and Gold in
