HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head baseball coach Marcus Clapp on rebounding from today this weekend against Indian Hills:

"The key to flushing this one is to show up and do the things we practice," Clapp said. "Having an approach, getting ahead of hitters, throwing strikes and fielding the baseball. Ellsworth wanted it more today and it's that simple."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will host Indian Hills Community College in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Norfolk.
