Get Away Day

Great wins last night. A 9-5 victory in game one, and a come-from-behind thriller for the 5-4 win in game two. Down 4-1 headed to the final inning, the Hawks rallied for four runs and the sweep of the doubleheader.

It's get-away day in Lansing, with the game at 7:05 PM. I have to check out of my room here in a few minutes, so I won't have any posts until I get to the ballpark around 2:30 or so.

Reminder, for Silver Hawks baseball, you will have to tune in to 1620 AM in South Bend (and the surrounding areas) starting tonight. If you listen online, just keep doing what you've been doing.

Finally, thanks to those that stuck with us through the technical problems last night. They have a repair man from the phone company at the stadium right now working on the line. Some of you have told me that it didn't sound that bad, and I appreciate knowing that, but it's still frustrating when the audio drops out for 5-10 seconds at a time.

For as many times as it dropped out for you listening at home, it dropped out twice as many times for me (we had a lot of problems during commercial breaks). In fact, we reconnected four or five times during commercial breaks that the listeners probably were not even aware of. Again, it's a problem with the phone line in Lansing, and has nothing to do with the radio station we are on, or why we are switching stations. That is a completely seperate issue.

Hopefully it'll be better tonight. Again, I thank you for your patience and we shouldn't have these problems again once we get out of Lansing.

A few posts coming later this afternoon. Stay tuned.
