The Black Hawks welcomed the Ravenna Arsenal on Saturday to the Clay High School field in Oregon Ohio for a twin bill in the Summer Collegiate League.

The  day started out on a bright note as Jordan Schwerer ( NKU / Whitehouse, Oh) led off with a single and was moved to third on a double by Sam Fischer ( Adrian / Monclova, Oh) with no outs in the bottom of the first. Nick Broyles (Bluffton / Toledo) picked up an RBI with a ground out to first but Fischer was stranded at third to end the inning.  The visitors struck back against Jake Rightnowar ( Trine / Toledo) with an unearned run and a solo home run to take a 2-1 lead after 4 innings of play which held up until the bottom of the 6^th. The home team was able to score two runs in the bottom of the 6^th as Colton Poncsak (Ohio Wesleyan / Bryan Oh) and Tayler Glass (Glen Oaks CC / Petersburg, Mi) reached base and scored on a miscue by the Ravenna defense and a wild pitch.  Jay Yost (Baldwin Wallace / Tiffin Oh) came in to relieve Rightnowar in the top of the 6^th with the bases loaded and no outs and worked magic to escape unscathed. After giving up a hit in the top of 7 proceeded to shut the visitors down and picked up the 3-2 win.

In the second game the visitors jumped out to a 3-0  lead after the first inning  as Sam Fischer was pressed into service to start the game and walked 2 batters and gave up a couple hits to make the score 1-0 with the bases loaded when a 2-out error led to 2 additional runs for the visitors. Stephen Leskow (Defiance / Defiance) arrived to come in to pitch in the 2^nd inning and did a good job allowing 2 unearned runs in the next 5 innings. In the meantime the offense chipped away at the visitors lead and eventually tied the score at 5 apiece after 6 innings of play. The visitors then put the game away with 4 runs in the top of the 7^th to take the 9-5 win. The offense was led by Ryan Hotmer (Owens / Walbridge) who was 3/3 with 2 RBI.
