South Bend Silver Hawks News Release


South Bend, IN– Before Sunday's game, manager Tony Perezchica said the Silver Hawks needed to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them to drive runs home. Sunday, they had one opportunity and it was quashed by the visiting Beloit Snappers in a 3-1 loss at The Cove.

The Hawks (44-33) got on the board first, when Brian Rose smashed a Greg Kloosterman offering over the left field wall to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. The Snappers tied the game in the fifth, when Adam Heether led the inning off with a single, advance to second on starting pitcher Chris Kinsey's wild pitch and after an out was recorded, moved to third on a groundout to third. Josh Murray then followed with a bloop single to left, plating Heether to knot the game at one.

The Silver Hawks had a chance to take at least a one run lead in the eighth inning. Brian Rose, who walked moved to second on a sacrifice. Mike Goss, who came into the game hitting .328 with runners in scoring, singled to left field delivering Brian Rose to the plate. Left fielder Drew Anderson came up with the ball and fired a one hopper to catcher Lou Palmisano to get Rose at the plate.

The Snappers (43-37) scored their go ahead runs in the 11th inning. After singles by William Lewis and Drew Anderson, Lou Palmisano was walked. Vinny Rottino followed with a sacrifice fly to center. Adam Heether then walked to load the bases. After Steve Moss fanned to make it two out, Manuel Ramirez singled home Drew Anderson to give the Snappers a 3-1 lead and win.

The Silver Hawks and Beloit Snappers (Milwaukee Brewers) will continue their series Monday night at The Cove. Monday, the fireworks nights continue with the third of four fireworks nights at The Cove presented by Clark Foodservice, Martin's Side Door Deli and WNDU. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
