Boise Hawks at Oakland Ballers
Hawks drop five out of six in the series
OAKLAND, CA - The Hawks' 22-9 win on Wednesday highlighted Boise's tough road series against the Pioneer League's first-place team, the Oakland Ballers, this past week.
The Hawks dropped five out of six in the series, but remained competitive with the bats. Wednesday's win was the fourth time this season that Boise has eclipsed 20 runs or more. Max Jung-Goldberg launched two homers in that game, and recorded a whopping 9 RBI in the game. Starting pitcher Jacob Hughes recorded 7 strikeouts in the game.
Boise nearly escaped with two wins in the series - a rarity against the 65-win Oakland Ballers, but came up just short in a 15-14 slug fest on Sunday.
