Six days after the nation's top team survived a first-round scare against Alpharetta, Brookwood called upon its ace to help notch a 7-2 victory over Norcross and move into the Class AAAAA quarterfinals. University of Georgia-bound Chase Hawkins was more than happy to help out.

Working in relief, Hawkins escaped from a bases-loaded jam in the top of the sixth inning to preserve a one-run lead, then delivered a two-run double to key a four-run rally in the bottom half.

Matt Adams struck out eight and allowed one earned run in five innings to pick up the win for Brookwood (28-3), which travels to East Coweta on Tuesday.

In the fifth, Taylor singled and scored on Patrick Daugherty's triple, and Daugherty scored on Nick Fryman's groundout for a 4-3 lead.
