South Bend Silver Hawks News Release


South Bend, IN – The South Bend Silver Hawks made another roster move for the 2004 campaign when the Arizona Diamondbacks removed infielder Augie Murillo from the disabled list and reassigned infielder Mark Reynolds to the Yakima Bears of the Northwest League.

Murillo returns to the Silver Hawks roster after missing several weeks with a stress fracture in his left foot. Murillo comes back to a Silver Hawks lineup in need of punch in the middle. Before he was placed on the DL, Murillo was hitting .267 with 3 home runs and 25 RBI.

Reynolds leaves the Silver Hawks after playing in 4 games. The Virginia native hit .067 with a double and five strikeouts to his credit. The 16th round selection finished his Virginia Cavaliers career with a .283 average and 35 career home runs, while driving home 137. In his first year at Virginia, Reynolds was named a Freshman All-American by Collegian Baseball and became Virginia's all-time leader in home runs for a first year player.

The Silver Hawks have the night off before returning to action Wednesday night against the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds), to open the first three games of a seven game homestand. Wednesday is not only a doubleheader, but Pepsi Workforce Wednesday presented by Pepsi, WAOR and WAAT-TV. Fans attending this evening's game can buy one ticket and get another free with a Pepsi-proof of-purchase. Also, the first 95 fans to purchase tickets and show their Pepsi-proof of-purchase, receive a bottomless cup of their favorite Pepsi beverage. Plus, any military that attends the game in uniform or presents military identification at the box office will enter the park at no charge along with any family members. Game time Wednesday is scheduled for 6:00 PM.
