South Bend, IN (June 5, 2010) - After a nail-biter on Friday night, the South Bend Silver Hawks made it appear effortless on Saturday with a 12-1 win over the Burlington Bees at Coveleski Stadium.

Bees starter Nick Wooley (L, 2-4) pitched two hitless innings before ceding crooked numbers to the Silver Hawks in the third and fourth innings. Twenty batters came to the plate between the two frames, including back-to-back two-run doubles from a pair of 2009 first rounders, Bobby Borchering and Matt Davidson.

Three South Bend batters - Borchering, Matt Helm, and Alberto Diaz -enjoyed three-hit days, and the Silver Hawks' eight doubles were season highs.

As good as South Bend was at the plate, Brad Gemberling (W, 1-3) was equally adept on the hill. The Princeton product allowed a run on two hits in seven innings with three strikeouts.

The Bees, meanwhile, managed only three singles on the day, with Deivy Batista picking up the lone RBI on a sixth-inning groundout that brought Jose Bonilla home. Ryan Dennick pitched three and a third innings of scoreless relief after Wooley left in the fourth.
