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.

Droppings from the Nest, July 5th-6th
Saturday night we saw a packed house at Memorial Stadium–about 100 more people than we saw on Opening Night. As usual, the fireworks were amazing! Additionally, we had an awesome response to 4ALS Awareness, with three local ALS groups (ALS TDI, ALSA and MDA) there for support. Cliff Williams, who is currently battling ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), very movingly read Lou Gehrig’s farewell speech in the 7th inning. Check out the video here.
Sunday night might not have had the attendance of the night before, but the game was one for the ages. The Hawks had the lead for the majority of the game–but gave up five runs to Eugene in the 9th only to come back and win it 9-8 in the 10th. I’m afraid I’m going to start producing stomach ulcers if we keep having games like that.
On to the droppings:
- Chris Langrill from the Idaho Statesman takes a look at the time-honored connection between baseball and the 4th of July; recaps Saturday night’ s loss to Eugene.; chats with Hawks newbie Brett Jackson and covers last night’s crazy win.
- Will Love with the Idaho Press-Tribune highlights the arrival of Cubs No. 1 draft pick Brett Jackson. and notes the end of the Hawks’ five-game losing streak.
- Channel 2 has video highlights from Saturday’s 4th of July game; and last night’s game.

Droppings from the Nest, July 4th
Happy Fourth of July, everybody! Although…today feels more like Christmas in July than the Fourth. Why, you ask?
Cubs No. 1 draft pick Brett Jackson has been added to the Hawks roster and is expected to join the team at tonight’s game!! I hope Jackson will be able to give the guys a boost–especially after last night’s 12-0 loss to the Dust Devils.

Droppings from the Nest, July 1st

NOTE: Tonight’s game against Yakima will start at 6:30 p.m.
Hawks won their second-straight in victory against Yakima last night! Greg Rohan hit a walk-off RBI single to win the game, 3-2, in the 10th. It was so great to see all of the players rush the field and swarm around Manager Casey Kopitzke, who is 2-0 since re-joining the team.
