HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:
Head baseball coach Marcus Clapp's overall thoughts on how he wants his team to rebound from their first ICCAC series loss of the season:
"We need to get back to what we were doing early," Clapp said. "Have to throw strikes and quit giving up free bases. Offensively, we have to get our foot down and stay with a middle approach."
UP NEXT:
The Hawks will return home for another ICCAC matchup against Iowa Central Community College this week. The first game of a doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Norfolk.
