Here's a Blast from the Past (Updated)

Do you remember Bayron Zepeda?  He pitched for the Silver Hawks in 2009, going 3-4 with a 4.58 ERA.  He then basically called it quits, retiring in the offseason and sat out the entire 2010 season. 

Well apparently he's returned.  I received a "Minor League Transactions" email that says he was reinstated from the restricted list.  I'm guessing this means that he showed up at camp, but I'll try to find out more information if I can.

UPDATE (2:01 PM):  I have been informed that Zepeda is not yet in camp, but is expected to report at the end of spring training and will be there in time for extended spring training.

A Win!

How about the Hawks tonight?

All nine batters with a hit.

All nine batters either scored or drove in a run.

9-2 win over Lansing.

First win of the year, and it came at home at the Cove.

Good starting pitching from Ryan Cook (6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R).

Good bullpen work from Zepeda (1 IP, o R) and Mace (2.0 IP, 0 R).

That's exactly what everyone was waiting for. Now that the first one is out of the way and the monkey is off the back, let's see what this team can do as the weather starts getting better tomorrow (hopefully).

I'll have some posts for you in the morning, right now, I have to figure out a way to thaw out from tonight's game. Don't forget, 5:30 PM eastern time start tomorrow for the doubleheader, pregame show at 5:10 PM.
