I think the players got my message. We won convincingly against a team that has gotten the best of us earlier in the year.

I'll start with our pitching today, SP Jameson Taillon was very good (7 IP, 5H, 1ER, 2BB, 10K's), followed by RP Matt Shoemaker (2 IP, 1H, 0BB, 3K's) in mop up duty.

Our batters collectively scored 8 runs on just 12 hits, 1B Josh Bell leading the way (4-4, 3R, 2HR, 5RBI) with his performance making him obvious P.O.T.G. RF Myles Straw did some damage in his callback debut (2-4, 2R, 1BB, 1RBI). Those two players accounted for half the Pirate hits today!

In MLB news Miami RP Nick Anderson is done for the season after a back injury was diagnosed as a torn muscle. No word on Miami's roster plans yet.
