Boise Hawks News Release
Boise, ID - The Boise Hawks responded incredibly well after dropping a series opener to the Grand Junction Jackalopes in their homestand this past week, winning five out of six in the series, and improving their record to 41-31.
Offense was key int eh series and several players had big weeks. First baseman Jeremy Begora led the team with 11 RBIs and added a couple homers. Outfielder Jake Hjelle also hit two balls over the fence. Center fielder Noah Marcelo reached a whopping 17 times in teh series and added a couple triples.
But it was third baseman Taylor Darden who matched to end the series, hitting three home runs over the last two days, including a 5 for 5 day on Sunday. He reached all six times.
Though the Jackalopes' capable offense put up a pretty good fight, it was no match for the Hawks, who scored double digit runs three times in the series, and added two nine-run games.
Pitching was more of a collective effort this week, but Graham Edwards led the way with a nine-strikeout game on Thursday night. Cameron Dayton came on for 6.0 innings of scoreless relief on Saturday, and participated in the post-game home run derby as a hitter in a heroic performance.
The Hawks are right back in the thick of the playoff hunt in the Pioneer League, currently in solo third in the overall standings, and moving within two games of .500 and the second half.
