Hawks remain winless in WEC baseball play

Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn remained winless in War Eagle Conference baseball play after losing to MMCRU, 11-1, on June 21 at Marcus. It was the only game of the week for H-M-S, as two other contests were washed out.

The Royals broke out to a 4-0 lead thanks to a two-run home run and a two-run double. They added to their lead with an infield RBI single and scored three more times as a result of Hawk errors.

In the third inning, Brody Meendering and Jack Mastbergen walked. Lawton Schiphoff hit a single to shallow left field that scored Meendering.
