The varsity team then traveled to Bryant for a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon, with the Blackhawks coming home with a split.

The Blackhawks were down by five after the first inning of the second game, but they came back within two. The game went the full seven innings, also, but the Blackhawks just couldn’t gain any more ground and they ended with their first loss of the season.
