Marr singled home runs in the second and sixth, and had a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Josh Dennett posted two hits, including a two-run home run in the eighth. Chase Leavy drove in three runs with a double in the eighth.

In the second game, a run-scoring double by Patrick Burns in the sixth proved to be the deciding run. Blake Petersen hit a solo home run in the second and Calin McCourt hit a run-scoring single in the fifth. Freshman Michael Lydon-Lorson (2-3) held the Bulldogs to six hits over seven innings with one walk and two strikeouts.

The Hawks, 16-26 and 14-15 in the GLVC, close out their home schedule with a noon doubleheader against Truman State on Saturday.
