Last night was a big night for the Hawks as they left for Vancouver with a win under their belts and two-less guys boarding the bus. 

The Hawks managed to pull out a 6-3 win over Eugene–their first win with more than a one-run lead.  Additionally, the Cubs made some roster moves–RHP Mike Perconte (right) was promoted to the Daytona Cubs (High-A) of the Florida State League; and outfielder Cliff Anderesen was released.  Why do I all the sudden have “Changes” by David Bowie in my head…Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

On to the droppings:

• Will Love of the Idaho Press-Tribune recaps last night’s win, plus “An Inning With…Jon Nagel.”
• Along with a quick recap, Jordan Rodriguez of the Idaho Statesman looks at the Hawks’ lack of home runs this season–only two overall, none at home.
• J. Bates with KBCI Channel 2 has video from last night’s win in front of a sell-out crowd.
• Also, even though Cliff Andersen is no longer a Hawks, check out the story I wrote about his and Matt Williams’ tattoos.

Note: Expect a guest blog by fellow intern Greg Marconi as he says goodbye to his buddy Cliff in “Farewell to a Friend.”
