Collin Johnson (Alfred Almond) and David Zuber (Honeoye Falls Lima) were each 2 for 4 with a RBI while Thomas Shofi (Carmel) and Andy Pichardo (Queens/Academy of American Studies) were each 2 for 4.

The Pioneers scored three in the 1st and scored six in the 6th inning, after Hilbert had cut the lead to 3-2, to take full control of the game.

In the opener, Hilbert scored three in the 5th to rally from a 3-2 deficit. The Hawks stranded a pair of runners in the 7th to preserve the victory.
