Trudy the Trainer has informed us that CF Danny Stewart (30-L) is ready to play again! Do you even remember him? He started the season as our starter in center, but since Joe Roberts is so hot lately, I think we will let Danny edge his way back into the swing of things. P Tom Benke (25-R) was sent back to Daytona (A) to make room on the roster.

Jacksonville Jays (11-26 .297 11 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Richmond Robins (21-16 .568 1 GB in 3rd place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Spencer Shuff (32-R) (0-3 4.72 ERA 26.2 IP, 33 H, 8 HR, 8 BB, 3 SO) vs.
RICH: Ken Kramer (23-R) (1-1 2.40 ERA 15 IP, 12 H, 0 HR, 7 BB, 8 SO) Rookie

When you are allowing more than twice as many home runs as you have strikeouts, you are not having a very good season.... Shuff gave up 3 home runs last time out, but only 3 runs in 5.1 IP and had a no decision.

This will be Kramer's 3rd Major League start. We have not faced him. He only gave up 6 hits and 2 walks with 5 strikeouts in 7 IP last time out, but 4 runs (3 earned) and took a loss.

Lost - 9 to 2

We had 7 hits and made no errors
Richmond had 16 hits and made 1 error

Spencer Shuff (L 0-4) went 2.1 innings, allowed 8 runs, 10 hits, no walks and struck out no one. He threw a WP. But he did not allow a home run! Normally, I would send someone pitching as bad as he is to the minors, but who would take his place? The best ERA of any starting pitcher at Daytona (A) right now is 5.21....That is Tom Benke (25-R), who we just sent back there. He has a .349 BA against him and that is the best of anyone in the rotation.... We have put two new pitchers in their rotation, who are low on stamina, but if one of them pitches decently, we will call him up. Otherwise, we will have to hope against hope that someone offers us a starting pitcher in trade.
LHP Bill Grant went 2.2 scoreless innings, allowed 3 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1.
RHP Barry Finney went 2 innings, allowed 1 run, 3 hits and struck out 2. He threw a WP.
RHP Roger Wallace pitched a perfect inning and struck out 1.

Ken Kramer (W 2-1) went 9 innings (CG), gave us 2 unearned runs, 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2. 119 pitches.

CF Joe Roberts hit a double. 3B Brian Porter had a hit, scored a run and had an RBI. RF mike Volkman hit a double and had an RBI.

For Richmond, LF Steve Shauer had 3 hits with a double, scored a run and had 2 RBI. RF Bob Cline went 4 for 4 with a double, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. 2B Skip Dunkin hit a double and a triple, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBI.
