On April 2nd, they defeated the University of Saint Joseph with ease by a score of 9-0. The dominance continued in the next two games in a doubleheader against Roger Williams University. The Hawks won games one 10-2 and game two 12-3. The one loss came in the first game of the next double header against Western New England University, where they lost 8-3.
In the second game of the doubleheader vs. Western New England, the Hawks won by a score of 10-4 in a ten-inning dogfight. Down 1-0 in the top of the 7th, Hartford was able to tie the game. Once in extra innings, both teams scored a run in the 8th and 9th innings to keep things going. In the top of the 10th, Hartford put up a seven-seat spot, capped off by Gia Miccio’s three-run home run, putting the game out of reach. Miccio, Alexis Sealey, Mara Sczecienski, Adelie Beebe, and Anita Farkash all had two hits apiece, as they had 12 in total. Sealey was excellent on the mound, going six innings, allowing only one run, and striking out 3. Gracie Hopkins got the win in relief.
