Thanks for the heads up.

LOUISIANA La. – Phillip Hawke’s third homerun of the series in the eighth inning Red team’s lead and later preserved Red's 5-4 game seven victory and the 2004 Fall World Series crown here Tuesday night at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field.

Jefferies Tatford cleared the bases with a two-run homerun down the right field line, giving Red a 2-1 advantage. Ray Dees followed with a double through the left side. Trey Meche then advanced Dees on a sacrifice bunt. Cody Martin sent a sacrifice fly to center field to score Dees, increasing Red’s lead to two runs.

In the bottom half of the eighth, Phillip Hawke added an insurance run, with his third homerun of the series, increasing Red’s lead to 5-3.
