Top of the First:
Frank Bates, just named the Player of the Month for August, flies out to right. Jeff Garrigus strikes out! Don Bruns swings at a 3-0 pitch and lines a hit to right. Octavio Garcia walks on 4 pitches. Lee Dean flies out to deep center!

Bottom of the First:
Leander Gooding grounds out to short. Danny Stewart strikes out on 3 pitches.... He has been useless this season... He has been a fine player in the past. Joe Roberts swings at a 3-2 pitch and lines out to center....

Top of the Second:
Buddy Elliott walks on 4 pitches... Dave Bess hits a home run to left center... 2 to 0, Sycamores. With 2 outs, Frank Bates takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. He steals 2nd and, yes, C Garrett Bender throws the ball into center... Jeff Garrigus grounds one to 3rd and Bobby Scrogham boots it and Bates scores... 3 to 0, Sycamores.

Top of the Fifth:
With 1 out, Don Bruns hits a home run to left. 4 to 0, Sycamores. Octavio Garcia grounds a hit up the middle. With 2 outs, a passed ball moves him to 2nd. Buddy Elliott swings at a 3-2 pitch and bloops a hit to right and Garcia scores... 5 to 0, Sycamores.

Lost - 5 to 0

Swept.
Outscored 27 to 8 in the 4 games.
We finish the season series with Syracuse 0-8.

We had 2 whole hits and made 2 errors
Syracuse had 11 hits and made no errors

Dalton Hartman went 6 innings, allowed 5 runs (4 earned), 9 hits, 2 home runs, 3 walks and struck out 3.
RHP Barry Short went 3 scoreless innings, allowed 2 hits and struck out 1.

Tom Peterson (W 18-10) pitched 9 shutout innings (CG), gave us 2 hits, no walks and stuck out 6. 97 pitches. At bat, he had a hit. Game Score of 89, the highest against us this season. And we have had a lot of high ones!

2B Leander Gooding hit a double.

For Syracuse, 1B Don Bruns had 3 hits with his 10th home run of the season.

Down in the Bushes: Jim Baucom (20-L) of Jackson made his last start of the season today. He pitched 8 shutout innings, allowed 2 hits, 4 walks and struck out 6. He finishes the season 15-5 with a 2.09 ERA. 30 starts, 220 IP, 133 H, 9 HR, 66 BB, 197 SO. He leads the Southern League (B) in ERA, IP, SO, K/BB and WHIP. He will be pitching for Jacksonville next season, unless we somehow manage to catch New Orleans for 7th place in the division. They are losing games like there is no tomorrow, but they are still 8.5 games ahead of us. Only two things not to love about him and that is that his stamina is not real high, but it is high enough, and he is a lefty. Our park is not kind to lefties, but it will be a plus on the road in a lot of places. He also cannot hit a lick, so I guess that's three things. Also, I am waffling a bit on the idea of going all in on pitchers in the draft. There are some real fine hitters that I would love to see suit up in a Jay uniform. We'll see. I still have 4 months to think about it....
