Lost - 7 to 1

We had 6 hits (all singles) and made 1 error
Columbus had 14 hits and made no errors

Marco Gonzalez (L 1-4) went 6+ innings, allowed 4 runs (3 earned), 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4.
RHP Justin Reddick went 1.2 innings, allowed 3 runs, 3 hits, 1 home run and struck out 2.
RHP Roger Wallace got 1 out, allowed 2 hits and struck out 1.

Terry Wilson (W 4-4) went 8 innings, gave us 1 run, 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 10. He is the 1st pitcher to reach double digit K's against us.

SS Leander Gooding had 2 hits. 2B Rick Dundore had a hit in his only at bat.

For Columbus, CF Jorge Moreida had 3 hits with a double and a triple, drew a walk and scored 3 runs. 3B Mike Brewer had 3 hits and 2 RBI.

Down in the Bushes: I have already settled on who I want to take with our first pick in the B Leagues Draft in January: SP Jim Baucom (19-R). He's 6' 8" and will turn 20 in a few weeks and he leads the Southern League in strikeouts. He can reach 100 MPH on the radar gun and throws 4 pitches. He is smart and there are no personality issues known. He pitches for the Jackson Generals and is 6-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 14 starts with 97.2 IP, 74 H, 3 HR, 30 BB and 89 SO. The only knock is his stamina is not the highest, but it is high enough to be able to finish games. He also cannot hit a lick, but If he can make it through the rest of the season without an injury and is available when we pick, he will be a Jay. Of course, now I have jinxed it....
