Former Hawk Hits Game Winner

How about AJ Pollock yesterday?  The former Silver Hawks outfielder and Notre Dame star hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the Diamondbacks to a victory over the Kansas City Royals. 

Pollock has been seeing substantial time with the big league club this spring, contributing 10 hits in 21 at-bats (.467 average).  Recovering from an injury, Pollock won't make the big league club out of spring training, but assuming he goes to AA to start (not out of the question), he has a chance to make his debut as a September callup or at the start of 2012.

  1. Yes and former Hawk gets the Win (Collmenter) and former 'Hawk gets the Save (Norberto) and another former 'Hawk gets his 2nd homerun of the Spring (Schmidt), former 'Hawk gets a homerun in his first spring training at bat (Wheeler)

    As I look at the box score, it looks like them Dbacks got a great deal of assistance from former Silverhawks. It is really nice to see!
