TEANECK, N.J. – The Sacred Heart University baseball team dominated FDU in the Pioneers' second midweek game of the week on Wednesday afternoon in seven innings, 14-1. Mitch Hawkins tallied his first collegiate complete game on the mound for the Pioneers.
Records
SHU: 15-16 (9-6 MAAC)
FDU: 8-25 (8-7 NEC)
Pitching
Mitch Hawkins (W, 2-1): 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 7 SO

Alex Ungar: 1 H, 2 R, 2 RBI
How it Happened
Mitch Hawkins started off hot on the mound for the Pioneers, striking out four batters in the first two innings. The junior right-handed pitcher went on to strike out a career-high seven batters through all 7.0 innings.
Offensively, the first years got the Pioneers going in the third inning, scoring two runs. Dave Yorke secured his first career hit to center field, which was followed by a double to right field from CJ Nolan. With the two runners on, Nathan Bowes tallied his first career hit to center field, plating both Yorke and Nolan to build a 2-0 lead.
The Knights scored their lone run in the bottom of the fourth on a Pio fielding error.
After a quiet fifth, SHU posted two more runs in the sixth with a Knight fielding error and a wild pitch for a 4-1 lead.
FDU could not halt the Pioneers in the seventh as they piled on 10 runs. First. the Pios took advantage of a fielding error as Alex Ungar reached first base, while Bowes and Nolan both scored. Then Ronan Donohue doubled to right center to drive Ungar and Gavin Donohue home.
For his first collegiate home run, Nolan plated three of his teammates with a grand slam to build a 12-1 lead.
To wrap up the very-long seventh inning, Bowes scored on a passed ball and Peter Link secured an RBI walk to ice a 14-1 win.
Up Next
The Pioneers will return home for a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) series against Canisius beginning on Friday.
