Seaforth 4-2 at home on Friday night, the 'Hawks hit the road for the long trip to Erin on Saturday night.
The 'Hawks outlasted Erin in a wide-open battle, taking a 5-1 victory over the Outlaws.
The Winterhawks had an advantage in play early on, but neither team found the twine in the opening frame, and it was scoreless heading to the 2nd period.
Lauchlin Elder broke the deadlock on the power play 1:10 into the middle frame, making it 1-0 Winterhawks from James McHaig and Andy Mitchell.
Erin answered back just shy of three minutes later to knot the score at 1-1.

Fritsch held off the Outlaws until late in the third period when Johnston and Matt Shields delivered the additional insurance markers, giving the Winterhawks a 5-1 road victory.
