Trey Smith drove in the first run and scored the final run for Huntingdon in Saturday’s doubleheader with Blackburn College. In between, the Hawks racked up 25 hits, 19 runs and four home runs in a sweep of the Beavers.

Huntingdon took the first game 12-0 in seven innings and won the second game 7-3. Game 2 was a regulation nine-inning game. The Hawks beat Blackburn 19-4 on Friday.

“Overall, this was a good weekend for us,” Huntingdon baseball coach D.J. Conville said. “We were able to get a lot of guys in and let them get some at-bats. It’s always good to get a sweep, but our guys understand that we have a lot of room for improvement.

“We have a solid team, but just because we’re winning that doesn’t mean we’re doing everything as well as we should be. We’re still having good innings and bad innings and we’ve got to learn to be consistent the whole game.
