Homestand #6 Recap

Boise, ID - The Boise Hawks dropped four of six in a home series loss to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox at Memorial Stadium this past week.

Neither team carried the momentum earned from the first half. After finishing 12th over the first 28 games, a revamped Sky Sox roster upset third-place finishing Boise three time to start the series.

Despite the early losses, the Boise offense still feasted. Taylor Darden, Drew Woodcox, Max Jung-Goldberg and Noah Marcelo all swatted homers.

The Hawks dominated the weekend to start, getting 5-innings plus with 2 earned runs each from starting pitchers Graham Edwards and Jacob Hughes.

First baseman Jeremy Begora reached 10 times in 11 plate appearances between Friday and Saturday, powering a highlight reel 20-2 win on Friday. Outfielder Jake Hjelle also added two different four-hit games in the series, and continued his hot streak from last week making it nine home runs over two weeks span against the Sky Sox.

Boise was poised to split the series on a Papas Fritas Sunday, but couldn't hang onto a late 8-7 lead and fell to drop the series at 4-2.
