Another Sellout Crowd

Good Afternoon!

Last night was another great Dollar Monday with U93 and Pepsi - we had over 5,800 fans in attendance which another sellout crowd for us. Once the game was underway, only hill side seats remained.

The Silver Hawks played well, but ultimately lost to the Bees. Today is a rare off day for the team before heading out on Wednesday for a 3-game series with the Clinton LumberKings followed by another 3 with Cedar Rapids.

The Hawks will be back home July 28th through August 2nd which all kinds of crazy stuff going on each night. Get this - we're celebrating Christmas in July next Tuesday and will be busy making the Cove look Christmasy. Stay tuned for more details!

Busy Weekend

Good Morning!

We're gearing up for another busy weekend at the Cove. We've got Friday Fireworks and the Boy Scout Sleepover tonight - I'm looking forward to watching a movie on the video board with all the Scouts.

Saturday will be an early morning - I'll in the College Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Parade so be sure to look for me and say hi!

It's another 7:00 game on Saturday night when the Hawks take on the Burlington Bees followed by a 2:00 after game on Sunday. AND it's MY BIRTHDAY! I've invited all my mascot friends out to help me celebrate and the Applebee's Fun Zone will be free to all kids in attendance.

Check out our website at SILVERHAWKS.com for all the latest details. Hope to see you at the Cove this weekend!

Exciting Silver Hawks Baseball

Greetings!

What a great day for baseball - too bad the Hawks are on the road today playing the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. It's a day game so tune into ESPN Radio 1620 or log on to silverhawks.com to listen to the play-by-play. Let's hope for a win!

The team returns from the long 10-day roadtrip tonight and will have a much needed day off tomorrow before starting a six game homestand at the Cove on Wednesday night. We've got a ton of stuff going on this week, including Soccer Night, Thursday afternoon game, Friday Fireworks and most importantly... my birthday party on Sunday!

I'll be celebrating my birthday this Sunday at the Cove with all my mascot friends. And guess what - I'm opening up the Applebee's Fun Zone and it will be free for all kids in attendance! I also heard a rumor that those front office folks might be surprising me with a DQ ice cream cake... I can't wait!

See you at the Cove!

Hawks Win!

Good Morning!

Well the Hawks snapped the losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Whitecaps. It was AJ Pollock's (former Notre Dame standout) professional debut and everyone was on hand for an enthusiastic welcome. Last night was also the first of our Fourth of July Holiday Fireworks!

Great seats are still available for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!

I'm off to check out the Silver Hawks Hitting Academy taking place today... wonder if I'll get a turn in the batting cage!
