HAWKS WIN HIGH SCORING CHAMPIONSHIP 25-20

The victory put the top seeded Hawks in rare air as they won both the regular season and playoff titles. Jim Welch had a two run homer for winning pitcher Tom Simmons. Welch and Eddy Haith hammered out five hits with four ribbies.
Felix Rodriguez rapped two doubles, and Ed DeMaio a two run triple for the Lightning.
