P Spencer Shuff (33-R) was sent back to Daytona (A) and there is no one else we can try who has not either already demonstrated that he cannot cut it in the Major Leagues or is getting hammered in A Ball. Pat Marinelli (26-R), who had 3 relief outings for the Jays and did decently, is giving up hits at a .387 clip for the Tortugas. 78.2 IP and 141 hits allowed! In the end, we decided to call up Blair Montgomery (29-R), who wanted to be a starter, but we said he would not start for us due to his lack of stamina. Well, he has enough stamina to go 5 innings and that is further than any of our starters have made it lately... His numbers at Daytona (A) are not encouraging and his 8 HR allowed in 61 IP means he will give up a TON of home runs in the Majors. But who else can we try?

Jacksonville Jays (37-71 .343 25 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Louisville Colonels (56-54 .509 7 GB in 5th place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Mackie Reed (29-R) (6-7 4.41 ERA 130.2 IP, 145 H, 15 HR, 45 BB, 52 SO) vs.
LOU: Ken DeWaters (25-R) (9-5 3.06 ERA 150 IP, 153 H, 9 HR, 42 BB, 76 SO)

Reed only gave up 1 run on 4 hits and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in 7 innings, last time out, but took his 3rd loss in a row as we were shut out.

We faced DeWaters back in April and he beat us, giving us 2 runs on 9 hits, 1 home run and 2 walks with 4 strikeouts in 7 innings. He has not won since June 15, going 0-2 in 8 starts since.

Top of the First:
Frank Roadman plunks one in front of the plate and is out, 2-3. Cal Doty hits one a lot farther! He grounds out to the pitcher... Joe Roberts grounds a hit to right. The only player on the team hitting a lick right now... Tony Becerra hits one hard, but lines out to right...

Bottom of the First:
Al Graves beats out an infield hit... Gilmer Duncan pops out to 2nd. Graves steals 2nd. Dick Pavlov grounds out to 3rd. Alan Douglas swings at a 3-2 pitch and pops out to short!

Top of the Second:
Brian Porter doubles off the wall in center! Remember when he was leading the league in doubles back in May with 15? Well he just hit #20, which is nowhere near the League lead anymore... Garrett Bender lines a double to right and Porter scores! 1 to 0, Jays! The next three make outs...

Bottom of the Second:
Ron Lerche swings at the first pitch and lines a hit to center. He is now 9 for 16 (.563) against the Jays with an 1.125 SLG. He tries to steal, but C Garrett Bender throws him out! Graham Carr grounds a hit up the middle. Dick Perez beats out an infield hit. Rob Dickerson grounds into a force at 2nd, 4-6, and Carr goes to 3rd. Which brings up P Ken DeWaters with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position.... He swings at the first pitch and grounds a hit to right and Carr scores... Tie Game: 1 to 1.

Top of the Fourth:
With 1 out, Garrett Bender grounds a hit to left and gets balked to 2nd. Dennis Brown hits one to deep center and Rob Dickerson is there in plenty of time, but the ball hits off the heel of his glove for a 2 base error and Bender scores! 2 to 1, Jays! With 2 outs, P Mackie Reed draws a walk. Frank Roadman gets beaned with an 0-2 pitch to load the bases up for our best, albeit cold, hitter, Cal Doty. He swings at a 3-2 pitch and lines one hard to center, but Dickerson makes the catch this time...

Bottom of the Fourth:
With 1 out, Graham Carr grounds a hit to left and steals 2nd, his 1st steal of the season. With 2 outs, we walk Ron Dickerson intentionally to pitch to P Ken DeWaters with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position.... Madness, I say! DeWaters swings at the first pitch and grounds a hit up the middle and Carr scores... Tie Game: 2 to 2. Al Graves lines one to deep center and Cal Doty cannot catch the ball for his 8th error of the season and Dickerson, the intentional walk, scores... 3 to 2, Colonels. Gilmer Duncan lines a hit to left and both runners score... 5 to 2, Colonels. P Mackie Reed has to give us some innings today... Duncan tries to steal, but C Garrett Bender throws him out!

Top of the Fifth:
Joe Roberts doubles to right center. He actually leads the team in doubles now with 25. Wish he would draw a walk every now and then, but beggars can't be choosers, as they say.... The next three all go begging...

Bottom of the Sixth:
Rob Dickerson beats out an infield hit and P Ken DeWaters bunts him to 2nd. With 2 outs, Gilmer Duncan grounds a hit to right and Dickerson scores... 6 to 2, Colonels.

Top of the Eighth:
Tony Becerra grounds one to short, but Graham Carr makes a bad throw to 1st for an error. With 1 out, Garrett Bender grounds a hit to left. Dennis Brown pops a hit to shallow right and the bases are loaded. Junior Danielson flies out to left and Becerra tags up and scores. 6 to 3, Colonels. PH Mike Volkman (33-L) swings at the first pitch and lines a double to left and Bender scores! 6 to 4, Colonels.

Top of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Gene Hildebrand (31-L), their new closer, who has been in the rotation most of the season. He is 10-8 with 1 SV and a 3.12 ERA in 132.2 IP. Their All-Star closer, Steve Dockery (24-R), is on the DL for 9 more days. Cal Doty pops out to short... Joe Roberts pops out to 2nd... PH Ismael Gonzales (33-R) grounds out to 3rd.... You do not need All-Star closers against us....
