From the Notes - May 1st

Happy Saturday! As you've probably noticed, the blog updates are less frequent on the weekend than they are during the week, largely because I try to work less hours on the weekend than I do during the week. Working 10 AM - 10 PM (or later) on Monday through Friday takes its toll on you, so I come in a little later on Saturdays. Anyhow, here are a few tidbits from today's notes:

HALEY’S CHASE FOR MILESTONE VICTORIES
• Mark Haley entered 2010 with 456 career victories (442 regular season, 14 postseason wins) and 375 wins for the Silver Hawks
• As of today, Mark needs 34 wins to reach 500 in his career, and 15 wins to reach 400 with South Bend
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TEAM NOTES:
• The Silver Hawks have scored 14 first inning runs this season, the most for any one inning in 2010.
