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, June 30th
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.
So because of that awesome news, there are bound to be some good droppings today!
- Of course the Idaho Statesman had a story about last night’s extra-inning rally, but Chris Langrill also addresses the Hawks’ slow start and how that doesn’t determine success one way or the other.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune’s Trent Lootens covers the Hawks’ second-straight win plus “An Inning With…” pitcher Miguel Sierra.
- Check out Channel 2’s footage of last night’s win over Yakima.
- Channel 7 wraps up last night’s thriller.
- Hawks pitcher Danny Keefe (right) gets a mention at tampabay.com as he is one of three University of Tampa players to sign with MLB teams.

- The Idaho Statesman also recapped the Hawks’ loss against the Volcanoes and last night’s win over Yakima. Chris Langrill also had an article about Manager Casey Kopitzke’s return to the team, and shortstop Hak-Ju Lee’s eight-game hitting streak.
- Check out Channel 2’s footage of the Hawks’ first win at home this season. They also have a brief recap of the loss in Salem-Keizer.

Droppings from the Nest, June 26th
Hawks win! Hawks win! Hawks win!
The Hawks came back with a rally in the final two innings to push past Salem-Keizer, 5-4.
Greg Rohan recorded the Hawks first homer of the season; Hak-Ju Lee extended his hitting streak to six games; and Logan Watkins, who has hit safely in five of his six games, had a season-high three RBI.
So much for the Black Widow curse…maybe I just had to get it out in the open in order for the baseball gods to relieve me of my burden.
Let’s hope so.
- Of course, the big news today is the Hawks’ first win of the season, and the Idaho Statesman has a game recap of last night’s victory.
- Channel 2 also highlights the Hawks’ win, but also does a video feature on Manager Casey Koptitzke’s arrival to the Treasure Valley.
- Channel 7 also covers Kopitzke’s return to the team.
If I’m missing any droppings in my daily sweep, let me know–I don’t want to leave anyone out (onalee@boisehawks.com).
