Baseball is a Funny Game

To be completely honest, there's not a whole lot about last night's game from an offensive standpoint that is worth writing about.

Consider: 
-The Silver Hawks managed just five hits
-The team was 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position
-The 8th inning disaster with three straight strikeouts while the go-ahead run was on third

Then, when you throw in that Lake County had two homers, five doubles, and twice as many total hits as South Bend, that certainly feels like a loss. 

Yet, as we all know, the Silver Hawks won 5-4.  Even after the game, half the players were shaking their head about the way they won, knowing that it wasn't pretty.

But here's the thing: THEY WON!  Games like last night are ones that South Bend had lost all year.  Now they won one ugly, and we'll see if that helps get the monkey off the back.  One can only hope.
