We are on the road again in Pittsburgh to face manager Jesse Courtney (39-5.1) and his Puddlers in a 3 game series. We are 10-2 against them on the season and beat them in 2 games in Detroit at the 1st of the month the last time we met. They are 4th in runs scored with 4.9 per game (Detroit is #2 with 5.3). They are 2nd in runs allowed with 4.1 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.6). Their Recreation Park is a pretty good pitcher's park and is the toughest place in the Liberty League to hit home runs. There have only been 5 home runs hit here all season by both the Puddlers and their opponents in 45 games. They have hit that many in 1 game in Indianapolis!
