Behind an impressive start by Sean Hawkins, Sheffield beat London, 5-2. In 9 innings, Hawkins surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 12 and walking 9. He allowed 2 runs. Sheffield is now 48-48.

Sheffield used the clutch hitting of William Donaldson to capture the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Talons ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a big one.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Hawkins told the Sheffield Citizen.
