Hey Fans - this is your chance to purchase a game worn Silver Hawks jersey. The black batting practice / alternative jersey tops are now on sale for just $35 (includes shipping). The tops were worn by the Silver Hawks players the last several years so they are worn and a little faded.

Rain, Rain Go Away!
Hi Silver Hawks Fans,
As you may know, it was a disappointing end to a great season. The Hawks were back home and ready to face the Burlington Bees in Game 3, but were rained out on both Friday and Saturday. You wouldn't believe all the water on the field by Saturday morning - I was tempted to go for a swim!
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't improving and with the instructional leagues starting up on Monday, there wasn't time to wait around for better weather. The big guy - George Spelius, President of the Midwest League was in town and made the difficult decision to call the playoffs. Since Burlington was leading the series 2-0, they were declared the 2008 Midwest League Champions.
It was still a great season for the Silver Hawks - the guys came a long way from the slow start in April.
The baseball season may be over, but I'm not going anywhere! Swoop has been challenged with the task of keeping all of you updated so I plan to do my best. Make sure to check back regularly!
Rumor has it the 2009 schedule is ready and I plan to get the scoop and find out what plans are in the works!

Eastern Division Champs!
Wow! The Silver Hawks had a great game last night sweeping Dayton thanks to a spectacular 4th inning 3-run homer by Collin Cowgill. The Hawks beat the Dragons 4-3 and will now battle the Burlington Bees for the 2008 Midwest League Championship!
The players were so excited after the win last night and they hopped right on the bus to head to Burlington, IA. They will play games 1 and 2 on the road before heading back to the Cove. We'll play at home on Friday at 6:30 followed by Game 4 (if necessary) at noon on Saturday and Game 5 (if necessary) at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.
I'm busy spreading the word so we can pack the park and cheer on the Hawks. I heard there is some football game going on in town this weekend, but winning a Midwest League Championship sounds much more exciting to me. Check out www.silverhawks.com or call the front office folks at 574-235-9988 for the latest details.
See you at the Cove!

Hawks Advance to 2nd Round
Hi Silver Hawks Fans!
The Hawks defeated the West Michigan Whitecaps and have advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs! The Hawks lead the series against the Dayton Dragons 1-0 and are heading into game 2 tonight. Both teams had a little rest last night thanks to some rain and are ready to take to the field tonight.
I'm pretty excited - our own Silver Hawks outfielder, Derrick Walker, will be performing the National Anthem tonight. This bird didn't even know Derrick could sing!
The Hawks are just one win away from facing the Burlington Bees in the Midwest League Championship Series. I could sure use your help cheering on the team. Hope to see you at the Cove!
