5/25 – South Bend vs. Fort Wayne
The Silver Hawks will try to avoid the sweep against Fort Wayne, who hasn’t swept a three-game road series since August of last season. Although the first two games have featured a ton of hitting – 12 combined runs in game one followed by 22 combined runs last night – game three should be about pitching. Two of the league’s best going head-to-head. Big news at Coveleski Stadium is that the new splash pad in the right field corner is going to be ready to go tonight along with the team store out beyond the left field wall.

4/24 vs. WIS
Sorry for the lack of updates of late. I will try my best to avoid similar lulls in the future. I will provide daily updates from Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities on the upcoming road trip. The offense has come alive of late, and that is certainly a good sign. Let’s see if the Hawks can get their first sweep of the season tonight.

4/13 vs. DAY
Hawks playing pretty good baseball right now, winners of 4-of-5 and 3-of-4 at The Cove. Jeff Shields had good sink last night, and the slider was working. He’ll be an important part of the equation this season and it was encouraging to see him “click” last night. Offensively it wasn’t pretty, but offense is down all around the league (league BA is .237) as is typical in April.
Game 2-of-4 tonight versus Dayton:
Game #8
Silver Hawks (4-3) vs. Dayton Dragons (2-5)
SB: LHP John Pedrotty DAY: LHP Tanner Robles
First Pitch: 7:35 p.m. EST
Pregame: 7:15 p.m. EST
Broadcast: HERE (Archived games for the last three nights are now available online and will be available for each game moving forward).
I’m working on a feature piece with third baseman Matt Helm. If finished it will play in the middle of the 5th inning.
The top of the 5th inning will be our trivia inning. Correct answers will enter into a drawing for a $10 gift card to TGI Fridays. Email answers to silverhawkstrivia@yahoo.com and tlucian@silverhawks.com, or tweet your answer to @radiohawks. The question will be posted via twitter around 7 p.m. and read aloud on the air in the top of the 5th.

A Few Photos & Notes
As promised here are a few photos of some of the fine work being done at Coveleski Stadium.
The brick facade looks terrific and certainly beats the bare concrete. Gives the park a real clean look. Beyond the left field wall is the synagogue, which in due time will become our souvenir shop. The real close up shot is of the new home plate suite. Figures to offer a pretty darn good view of the game. Pre-existing indoor suites are under renovation and outdoor suites are being added on both baselines. There will be ample opportunity for group and corporate outings. With the splash pad being installed in the right field corner, and the fun zone on tap for left-center, the kids will be sufficiently entertained as well.
You’ll notice the clouds … hate to play meteorologist (although, if I ever went back to school, that is what I would study) but the weather has really cooperated this month. Temperatures have been good great and it has been dry enough so as to not disturb the renovations. Anyway, don’t be fooled by the pictures.
Speaking of disturbing… work was being done right on top of my office yesterday. Specifically, drilling. It was like a bad trip to the dentist. The only thing missing was the Novocaine.
Notes:
The Silver Hawks will remain an Arizona Diamondbacks affiliate through 2014. The Hawks player development contract was due for expiration after this season. There were rumors that the Hawks were going to hook up with the Cubs, but Mr. Berlin quickly put those to bed.
Peyton Manning will be a Bronco. What? Yes, Peyton Manning will be a Bronco. Rumor has it that part (likely a very small part) of the reason Peyton chose Denver is that he is friends with Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, whom he played football with at Tennessee. Peyton actually replaced Todd as the team’s starting QB in 1994. They remain close and the rest is history. Peyton will be a Hall of Famer in football, will Todd make the baseball HOF? I’d imagine so.
That is all for now…
Take care,
