News and Notes from Eugene
Yes…Kyle Schwarber is gone…but the season must go on, including a stretch of 13 road games in 16 days.
The Hawks piled up a record 5 home runs on Tuesday afternoon (most in the 14 year run with the Cubs) in the 12-3 victory over Tri-City, but managed just four hits (including a David Bote home run) in last night’s 5-2 loss in Eugene – as the squad fanned a season-high 13 times (including four K’s by Jeffrey Baez after being inserted into the No. 3 hole vacated by Schwarber).
Was impressed by the two Trey’s last night – though Trey Masek walked three men, he worked out of not one, but two second-and-third, one-out jams, getting back-to-back K’s twice. Trey Lang looks very comfortable in a relievers role, and his above average slider had a ton of bite.
