Great Win Last Night

I don't want to get too wrapped up in one victory, because, well...it's just one victory. But considering all the factors, last night's win was definiately a big win for the Silver Hawks.

Consider...

-South Bend had lost 3 in a row and 9 of their last 10.

-South Bend trailed from the 1st inning to the 8th inning.

-South Bend's starter Mike Belfiore pitched a great game, but departed in line for another loss because of a lack of run support.

-The Hawks were held without a hit from the 2nd inning until the 8th inning.

-Matt Helm was hitting below .200 before going 3-for-4 last night.

-Lake County had not lost a game when leading that late all season long.

-The Silver Hawks bullpen pitched 4.0 scoreless innings.

-The game was on the road.

-The game was against the first place Captains.

Add all those together, and to me, that equals a great win.
