Game 2 saw an improvement from the Hawks as they would grab an early lead following a double by Graduate student Noah Rivera, scoring both Tremayne Cobb Jr and Derek Tenney. Daniel Burnett would later extend Hartford’s lead following a solo home run in the second inning. The Hawks would not give up the lead as they would go on to win by a final score of 12 to 7. Game 3 would see the Hawks strike early once again with RBI singles from Noah Rivera and Derek Burnett. However, after a fourth-inning collapse, the Hawks would lose its two-run lead. The Great Danes would hold off Hartford to win the series two games to one on the road Hartford.
