We put RP Barry Finney (26-R) on the DL and sent P Sherrell Brown (27-R) back to Daytona (A). We recalled RP Barry Short (32-R) and called up P Mike Hasley (25-R). Short has done well for the Tortugas since being demoted, do we will give him another chance. Hasley has a 4.44 ERA, but has only allowed 1 HR in 26.1 IP, so he will get a chance in the rotation.
We also need a spot starter for today, because of the rainout earlier. None of our pitchers are rested enough to go on short rest. So LF Barry Laskowski (34-R) was sent back to Daytona (A) and SP Mike Gaddis (32-R) was called up. He is famous for his 12.18 ERA....
New Orleans Pelicans (27-28 .491 6.5 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (19-36 .345 14.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)
NO: Dennis Farmer (23-R) (4-1 1.95 ERA 55.1 IP, 45 H, 3 HR, 16 BB, 31 SO) Rookie vs.
JAX: Mike Gaddis (32-R) (0-4 12.18 ERA 17 IP, 34 H, 5 HR, 5 BB, 9 SO)
We lost to Farmer in April, but scored 6 runs (5 earned) in 8.2 IP. He was just named Rookie of the Month for May.
In his last start for the Jays, Gaddis faced these same Pelicans and gave up 6 runs in 3 IP.

A new all-time attendance record! Including Opening Day!
Free ice cream and pizza does make a difference!
Of course, we came out behind on the deal, but we got a record crowd!
They sure aren't here for the great baseball....
Top of the First:
Victor Ocasio flies out to center. Dan Carroll swings at a 3-2 pitch and misses! Omar Camacho flies out to center! 1-2-3!
Bottom of the First:
Cal Doty pops out to left. Joe Roberts lines out to center. Mike Volkman grounds out to short...
The Pelicans go 9 up, 9 down! They must be all tuckered out from all the base running they did yesterday...
Bottom of the Third:
With 2 outs, Mike Volkman beats out an infield hit and gets balked to 2nd. Garrett Bender grounds a hit to left and Volkman beats the throw home! 1 to 0, Jays!
Top of the Sixth:
Benito Abonza lines a hit to right, the first of the game for the Pelicans. The Bullpen gets up. P Dennis Farmer bunts the runner up. Victor Ocasio strikes out looking. Dan Carroll swings at a 3-2 pitch and lines a hit to right and Abonza scores with a throw... Tie Game: 1 to 1.
Top of the Ninth:
On the Hill: Gary Adamson (35-R), after a perfect 8th. PH Jim Tindall (38-L), 1 for 1 with a double this series, takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... Dan Carroll grounds into a force at 2nd, 5-4. Carroll steals 2nd... We walk Omar Camacho intentionally. Ricky Palmer swings at a 3-2 pitch and misses! Niel Williamson swings at a 3-2 pitch and pops one to shallow right, but 2B Ed Diskin makes a great running catch!
Bottom of the Ninth:

PH Ismael Gonzales (33-R) is sent up. Gooding steals 2nd and goes to 3rd when C Niel Williams throws the ball into center! A wild pitch would be nice for another walk-off win! Gonzales swings at an 0-2 pitch and grounds one back to the mound. P Rutherford looks Gooding back to 3rd and then makes a wild throw to 1st and Gooding scores and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Jays!
