Manager Adam Shersher credits his work ethic and game calling, noting Hawkins's growth from last season and early 2015 success including two first-half homers. The Delta, BC native delivered a .300 average through 50 at bats to start the year with 8 RBIs, while the club moved from 0-4 to 10-9 as pitching staff performance improved. Hawkins credited video work and coaching as turning points, and teammates praised his preparation and leadership as the team heads to Lethbridge tonight.
