Wow

The word "Wow" is about all I can say about today's win over Fort Wayne. I think (and hope) my call of Ender Inciarte's homer expressed both excitement and surprise that he took a two-out, two-strike pitch over the wall in right field was his first home run this season, lifting the Silver Hawks to a 4-3 lead (and eventual win).

Ender will get all the praise, and rightfully so. He had a tremendous day with three hits and three RBIs. Casey and I had talked earlier in the game about getting the bottom of the lineup to produce, and they came through in a big way today.

One overlooked part of today's win is the bullpen work. Four scoreless innings of relief gave the Silver Hawks a chance to win by keeping the game within striking distance.

As we always say, it's just one victory out of a 14o-game schedule, so let's not make it out to be a monumental win. However, let's see how both teams respond over the next two days and see if there has been a momentum swing for either team.
