So upon further review, the last post wasn't number 1,000. It was actually 996 due to a quirk where sometimes blogger saves a "draft" of a post before you publish it, thus showing the same post twice. Either way, we're approaching the milestone and I stand by everything I said in the previous post.
A few other notes from the Silver Hawks today:
-RHP Brad Wilson will start and make his South Bend 2010 debut. He pitched in relief for the Silver Hawks in 2009 (only two appearances -- 4.1 scoreless innings).
-Reliever Brian Budrow has now thrown 9.2 consecutive scoreless innings since allowing a run on June 12th at Cedar Rapids.
-Keon Broxton is tied for the Minor League Baseball lead with 11 triples. He's one shy of tying the South Bend franchise record (12 by Victor Hall in 2001).
