Weather Update (11:12 PM)

10 PM Update - For those of you that follow this, tonight's game is still in a rain delay.  We are going to wait this out for a while.  I am off the air because the lightning is so severe that I don't want to risk a strike doing damage to my equipment.  I will update again when I know more.

10:35 PM Update - Still waiting.  Umpires are talking with both managers, league president, Dragons operations staff, etc.  This might be a while.  Just so you know, this is a unique situation because South Bend just took the lead and the Dragons didn't get a chance to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning.  They are trying to determine who, if anyone, might win this game.  Do you revert back to the last full inning?  Do you give the Silver Hawks the win because they have the lead regardless of the fact that Dayton didn't bat?  Or do you wipe it out entirely?  Perhaps, you just sit and wait.
Also, the lightning has slowed down so I've resumed the rain delay music.  You can reconnect to the broadcast now.

11:00 PM Update - Game is over.  Yet oddly, we still don't know who, if anyone, actually won this game.  I had to sign off the air because I have to pack up equipment.  I'll try to update the blog from the bus, and also, more information will be available at www.silverhawks.com when it becomes available to us.  Thanks!

11:12 PM Update - It's official.  Silver Hawks win!  Full story going up now on www.silverhawks.com

Rain Delay Theater...College Baseball Style

Came across this gem today while browsing for some baseball stories for the blog.  Props to Clemson and Davidson for their creativity.

Lineup and Rain Delay Info

First of all, there is a substantial chance of rain during tonight's game. If there is a delay, we will not keep the feed the whole time. The link you use on www.sportsjuice.com will show "rain delay" when we are in a delay, and that notification will go away when the game resumes.

The best thing to do is stay on that main page that you use to access our games, and hit refresh from time to time to see if the rain delay notification goes away.

With that said, here's the starting lineup:

Keon Broxton - CF
Mike Freeman - 2B
Zach Walters - 3B
Yazy Arbelo - 1B
Ramon Castillo - DH
Chris Jarrett - RF
Jhoan Pimentel - C
Bobby Stone - LF
Raul Navarro - SS

Bradin Hagens - SP

No pregame interview.  Instead, we'll update some former Silver Hawks at other Minor League levels (summarizing the earlier blog post).  First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 PM.  Pregame show begins at 6:10 PM.

Rain Delay - Friday night

We are in a rain delay in Clinton. A lot of lightning, with some rain and "damaging winds" and "large hail" on the forecast at weather.com. Hopefully most of that misses to the north as the entire storm was supposed to. I'll give updates every 20-30 minutes on ESPN Radio 1620 AM in and around South Bend, and online at www.silverhawks.com.

Rain Delay

We are officially in a rain delay. I will give updates every 20 minutes. For those of you listening online, a reminder: if the stream drops out ever, please call 1-877-913-9739.

I remind you of this because when rain delays happen, sometimes the streaming company thinks the game is over or cancelled when they hear national programming. So if you lose the feed, call the number, tell them it's in a rain delay, and they'll get the feed going again for you.

Today's Game Postponed

South Bend, IN – The South Bend Silver Hawks have announced that Wednesday morning’s home game against the Lansing Lugnuts has been postponed due to rain. Fans can redeem their rain check tickets at any time at the stadium box office.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday morning beginning at 10:30 AM for a special School Day at the Cove. Gates will open at 9:30 AM at Coveleski Stadium.

Because of the unique situation of a doubleheader on a school day, the Silver Hawks are offering free tickets for the second game. Fans arriving to Coveleski Stadium after 12:00 noon will be issued a free ticket for game two of the doubleheader.

Probable pitchers will be RHP Sean Morgan (1-0, 2.55 ERA) for South Bend in game one, while Lansing counters with RHP Henderson Alvarez (3-3, 3.86 ERA). In game two, LHP Taylor Sinclair (0-1, 3.68 ERA) will make the spot start for South Bend, with Lansing turning to scheduled starter LHP John Anderson (1-1, 3.07 ERA).

For more information, contact the Silver Hawks at (574) 235-9988.
