The Silver Hawks, the Class-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks since the major league franchise debuted in 1998, took two of three games in Davenport last season by sweeping a doubleheader May 1. Quad Cities lost two of three games in South Bend in 2011 and two of three in Davenport in The River Bandits last won a series in South Bend July 9-11, also the last year Quad Cities won the season series, taking two of three at each team s ballpark. BANDITS POUND LOONS TO TAKE SERIES: The River Bandits took the final two games of a three-game home series against the Great Lakes Loons to finish a 4-2 home stand. On Sunday, every Great Lakes Loons batter contributed at least one of the team s 18 hits in a 10-6 victory despite the first triple play by the Quad Cities franchise since On Monday, River Bandits left-hander Brian Holmes set a career high and a season high for a River Bandit with 10 strikeouts in five innings, and right-hander Jordan Jankowski struck out four more in four shutout innings of a 6-1 home win. The 14 strikeouts set a Quad Cities single-game season high. In the Tuesday rubber match, the River Bandits scored a season-high 17 runs, and catcher Jobduan Morales hit the team s first grand slam of the season as part of a team-high five RBIs in a 17-6 win. TRIPLE PLAY NOTES: The River Bandits turned their first triple play in six seasons in the second inning Sunday against Great Lakes. With no outs and runners at first and second base, Dashenko Ricardo hit a ground ball to third baseman Rio Ruiz, who stepped on third base, threw to second baseman Austin Elkins for a force out, and Elkins relay to first baseman Miles Hamblin completed the 14th triple play in franchise history and first since June 16, 2007, when Quad Cities also turned a triple play on a ground ball by Beloit s Danny Valencia, just 16 days after the Swing of the Quad Cities turned a triple play on a line drive against Clinton. The 14 triple plays are the most all-time in the Midwest League. EASTERN DIVISION MATCHUPS: Quad Cities is playing the second of eight three-game series against Eastern Division opponents. Four Eastern Division teams will host the River Bandtis, and the other four will visit Modern Woodmen Park. Last season the River Bandits, as the affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, lost two of three games to seven of eight Eastern Division teams, with the exception a two-out-of-three home series win over the Lake County Captains. BANDITS HAVE RAIN-SOAKED APRIL SCHEDULE: In their first home stand April 11-17, the River Bandits were rained out on three of seven scheduled home dates, and they were postponed by inclement weather in Burlington and Kane County, for a total of five postponements in 10 days. Quad Cities had a total of five weather-affected games (four postponements, one cancellation) in the season. Below are the rainouts, makeup dates and results from the past two weeks.

Each spot in the rotation includes a pair of pitchers, who will alternate pitching first and second in a game each time through the rotation. With four tandems for Quad Cities, each pair is scheduled to pitch every fourth game. Quad Cities did not use a tandem in its doubleheaders against Clinton (April 16) and Kane County (April 20). Instead, each scheduled pitcher was used as a single starter in each of the two games. BANDITS OPEN SECOND AFFILIATION WITH HOUSTON ASTROS: The Quad Cities River Bandits and Houston Astros signed a two-year Player Development Contract in September to mark their second affiliation. Houston was the major league affiliate of the Quad City River Bandits from 1993 to 1998, when Billy Wagner, Johan Santana, Richard Hidalgo, Brad Lidge and Freddy Garcia each spent time in the Quad Cities. In, the Astros minor league affiliates combined for the best overall record of any domestic minor league system (domestic rookie through Triple-A).
