The Heartland baseball team extended its winning streak to seven on Friday, as the Hawks secured an 8-3 victory at Triton College. The Hawks (25-10, 16-4) registered 12 hits in the win, yielding just five hits defensively.
 
Corey Boyette ignited the scoring in the first, as he launched a two-run homer to right field to score TJ Williams and the Hawks led 2-0 in the early-going. An error by the Trojans and a Williams two-run single extended the lead to 5-0 in the third.
 
Triton would score once in the bottom of the third and twice more in the fourth to narrow the deficit to 5-3, but that was all the home team could muster. Williams drove in two more runs in the fifth on a line drive single to make it 7-3. Brady Davidson added an RBI-single in the seventh to push the lead to 8-3, which held as the final score.
 
Williams finished with three hits and four RBI's for the Hawks. Boyette, Davidson and Jesse Contreras had two hits apiece.
 
The Hawks return to The Corn Crib for a clash with South Suburban College at 3:30 pm on Tuesday.
