RP Jim Kenzy (33-R) has served his time on the DL, so we activated him and sent RP Bob Craig (23-R) back to the Daytona (A) roster.

Buffalo Bombers (73-64 .533 8.5 GB in 3rd place in the Northern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (44-91 .326 32 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)

BUF: Marty Hunter (33-R) (8-9 4.31 ERA 163 IP, 169 H, 18 HR, 54 BB, 105 SO) vs.
JAX: Marco Gonzalez (27-R) (3-13 4.98 ERA 137.1 IP, 155 H, 10 HR, 67 BB, 69 SO)

We hit Hunter well in May, scoring 5 runs on 6 hits, 1 home run and 1 walk with 3 strikeouts in 3.2 innings, but he escaped with a no decision and we lost the game.

Gonzalez has lost his last 3 starts, allowing a total of 16 runs on 17 hits, 3 home runs and 10 walks with 12 strikeouts in 17.2 innings. That's an 8.15 ERA. Another shellacking today and he will get a train ticket. Well, actually, he won't, because Daytona's (A) season is over, but you get the drift.

A new attendance low...

Top of the First:
Duane Keepers grounds out to 1st, 3-1. Bernie Jones strikes out! Ivan Moreno grounds out to 3rd! 1-2-3!

Bottom of the First:
Frank Roadman grounds out to 3rd, but 3B Bernie Jones is hurt. New 3B: Johnny Brown (23-R), a rookie, who was the #10 prospect this Spring. He is batting .393 (all singles) in 28 AB with 1 RBI. Danny Stewart pops out to 1st. This guy was a fine player over the past few years, but when he hits the ball now, you don't even see a chance that it might be a hit... Joe Roberts grounds out to short...

Top of the Second:
Mickey Lynn grounds a double over the 1st base bag. With 1 out, Dave Lloyd lines a double to left and Lynn scores.... 1 to 0, Bombers. Jose Cuenca swings at the first pitch and lines a hit to right and Lloyd beats the throw home and Cuenca takes 2nd... 2 to 0, Bombers. The next two, including the pitcher with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position, make outs!

Top of the Third:
Duane Keepers leads off with a home run to right center... 3 to 0, Bombers. With 1 out, Ivan Moreno hits a home run to left center... 4 to 0, Bombers.

Top of the Sixth:
New Pitcher: Jim Kenzy (33-R), who has not pitched in 15 days. With 1 out, Dave Lloyd doubles to center. Jose Cuenca gets beaned. Dick Lyles draws a walk to load the bases up with 1 out. The Bullpen gets up. P Marty Hunter grounds into a force at home, 4-2. Duane Keepers grounds out to 2nd!

Top of the Seventh:
Johnny Brown does not have all singles now... He leads off with a double to right. The Bullpen is back up. Ivan Moreno lines a hit to right. Mickey Lynn strikes out! Frank Cohen grounds a hit to center and Brown scores and Moreno beats the throw to 3rd... 5 to 0, Bombers. Call to the Bullpen: Barry Short (32-R). Mike Volkman (33-L) is in to play right in a double switch. Dave Lloyd strikes out. Jose Cuenca grounds out to the pitcher!

Lost - 5 to 0

3 shutouts in the last 6 games...
2 total runs in the last 4....
11 hits total in the last 3....
Yeah, I am waffling on the all-in on pitchers plan...

We had 5 whole hits (all singles) and made no errors
Buffalo had 14 hits and made no errors

Opponent pitchers have hit more home runs in September, so far (1), than they have struck out (0 in 14 AB).

Marco Gonzalez (L 3-14) went 5 innings, allowed 4 runs, 7 hits, 2 home runs, 1 walk and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit. We will give him one more start.
RHP Jim Kenzy went 1.1 innings, allowed 1 run, 4 hits, 1 walk, 1 HBP and struck out 1.
RHP Barry Short went 2.2 scoreless innings, allowed 3 hits and struck out 2.

Marty Hunter (W 9-9) pitched 9 shutout innings (CG), gave us 5 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6. 108 pitches. At bat, he had a hit.

Once again, no one qualified for a mention....

For Buffalo, RF Ivan Moreno had 3 hits with a triple and his 19th home run of the season.

The Bombers announced that 3B Bernie Jones had a stiff back that they expect to be fine in 3 or 4 days.
