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!
