Delta's offense didn't take any time getting going. The Mustangs scored two in the first and second innings, followed by seven in the third and five in the fourth in route to an 18-3 victory over the Hawks. Zack Mathis led the way by going 3-4 with five rbi including a towering three run home run. Vinny Bologna and Jimmy McCleneghan drove in three runs a piece, and Dillon Tatum drove in two.
