Droppings from the Nest, July 16th-17th
Coming off of their five-game road trip in Vancouver, the Boise Hawks have come back to Boise shouting “Honey, I’m home!”
The Hawks won their second in a row against the Yakima Bears last night. Logan Watkins has extended his hitting streak to eight games now, going 4-5 on Wednesday and 5-6 last night. Additionally, new Hawk and first baseman Justin Bour hit the first Hawks home run at Memorial this season–I know the fans have been waiting on that one!
Now let’s get to those droppings:
- The Idaho Statesman gets the prize today for the most Hawks coverage, running recaps of Wednesday’s 9-8 win and Thursday’s 14-5 win over Yakima, a feature on outfielder Runey Davis, a feature on Justin Bour and a promotional piece for Saturday’s American Red Cross Night.
- Will Love from the Idaho Press-Tribune looks at last night’s win over Yakima and takes “an inning with” Logan Watkins.
- Check out KBCI Channel 2’s J Bates’ recaps and highlights of Wednesday’s and Thursday’s home wins.
Also, some roster moves you may not be aware or: pitcher Miguel Sierra, catcher Alvaro Sosa and infielder Jordan Petraitis were all sent to Mesa on Wednesday. In return, pitcher Eduardo Figueroa, catcher Richard Jones and first baseman Justin Bour were all promoted to Boise. Jones and Bour were both members of this year’s draft class–Jones a 9th rounder out of The Citadel and Bour a 25th rounder out to George Mason.
Droppings from the Nest, July 7th
Hawks secured another win last night, and, just hours from now, look to make their first 3-game winning streak of the season. Tarlandus Mitchell will be on the mound for the Hawks–he will go head to head against Eugene’s Matt Jackson.
But before we look forward, we must look at the “droppings” collected today.
- Even though the Hawks pulled a second-straight win last night, Chris Langrill of the Idaho Statesman decided to take the focus off the players for a day and instead looked at one of the Hawks’ “superfan,” Carl Krueger.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune looks at Brett Jackson’s two-out, two-run triple that drove the Hawks over the Emeralds in last night’s comeback.
- Zach Wolken of KTVB Channel 7 recaps last night’s win, 5th overall win for the Hawks.
- Check out J. Bates highlights from last night’s 5-4 win over Eugene.
