Hawks Lose Series to Yolo

BOISE, Idaho – After taking the first game of a six-game set, the Boise Hawks dropped five-consecutive contests against the Yolo High Wheelers.

The Hawks (48-42 overall, 23-19 second half) are tied for third place with one week left in the regular season. Boise must win at least five games in their six-game series at Great Falls, September 3-8 and get help from either the first place Oakland Ballers or second place Yolo. Those teams square off in Yolo and the Hawks need one of the two to win at least five games.
