P Frank Cook (35-R) was sent to Daytona (A) and P Tom Betke (25-R) was recalled. Betke made one start for us earlier in the season and it was not good, but it was better than Cook has been doing in May. Betke was 1-7 with a 4.50 ERA for the Tortugas.

Our offense is horrible, but I think we need to go all-in on starting pitchers come January when the Draft arrives. We have zero right now that we can count on to be even mediocre next season....

Jacksonville Jays (15-32 .319 14.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Buffalo Bombers (23-25 .479 6.5 GB in 4th place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Marco Gonzalez (26-R) (1-2 2.91 ERA 34 IP, 33 H, 0 HR, 14 BB, 18 SO) vs.
BUF: Matt Nielson (31-L) (3-4 4.44 ERA 48.2 IP, 48 H, 4 HR, 14 BB, 31 SO)

Gonzalez gave up 3 runs on 10 hits and 2 walks in 8+ innings last time out in his first win. He would seem to be due for an ERA correction...

Nielson has lost 3 of his last 4 starts with 2 shellings and a shutout. He is pitching with a strained oblique, but he is a lefty and that should be enough to carry him through against us.

Top of the First:
Leander Gooding lines a hit to right. He steals 2nd. Cal Doty lines out to short and they double Gooding off at 2nd... Brian Porter strikes out...

Bottom of the First:
Dan Faust swings at the first pitch and pops out to left. Tom Hamm swings at the first pitch and pops out to short. Mickey Lynn does not swing at anything and walks on 4 pitches. Ivan Moreno, his tired arm not tired anymore, strikes out looking!

Bottom of the Third:
P Matt Nielsen grounds the first Bomber hit to right and is bunted to 2nd by Dan Faust. With 2 outs, Mickey Lynn hits a home run to right... 2 to 0, Bombers. That is his 17th home run of the season. We have 18 as a team....

Top of the Fourth:
Cal Doty and Brian Porter lead off with back to back hits. Ismael Gonzales grounds into a 5-4-3 double play and Doty goes to 3rd. Mike Volkman swings at the first pitch and lines a double to left and Doty scores! 2 to 1, Bombers.

Bottom of the Fourth:

Top of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Dale Kumpf (30-R), not their closer, who pitched 2 innings yesterday for a Save. Kumpf has a 5.16 ERA in 22.2 IP. His main problem has been the 13 walks he has allowed. But that should not be an issue against our non-walkers.... Mike Volkman pops out to 2nd. Garrett Bender strikes out on 3 pitches... PH Joe Roberts (30-L) flies out to left...

Lost - 4 to 2

Buffalo had 8 hits and made 1 error

Matt Nielson (W 4-4) went 8 innings, gave us 2 runs, 10 hits, no walks and struck out 2.
