Buffalo Bombers (74-64 .536 8 GB in 3rd place in the Northern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (44-92 .324 32.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)

BUF: Matt Nielson (31-L) (9-10 3.56 ERA 182 IP, 197 H, 12 HR, 48 BB, 112 SO) vs.
JAX: Spencer Shuff (33-R) (1-10 7.59 ERA 61.2 IP, 92 H, 11 HR, 20 BB, 16 SO)

Nielson beat us in May, giving us 2 runs on 10 hits and no walks with 2 strikeouts in 8 innings.

Shuff last started for the Jays on August 21 and lost, allowing 7 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits, 1 home run and 2 walks with no strikeouts in 4.1 innings. But he has had 2 good starts for Daytona (A) since, so we are giving him one more shot. But that is all.

And another new attendance low...

Top of the First:
Duane Keepers flies out to deep left. David Rodriguez grounds out to 1st, unassisted. Lee Brand grounds one to 1st, but P Spencer Shuff drops the toss from Tony Becerra... Mickey Lynn doubles down the right field line and Brand scores... 1 to 0, Bombers. Dave Lloyd flies out to very deep center!

Bottom of the First:
Leander Gooding grounds a hit to right. He gets caught stealing... Frank Wendell strikes out... Ismael Gonzales lines a hit to center. That raises his batting average over .300! Why is he not starting every day? Two reasons: 1) he cannot field and 2) he has an OPS of .558 against right-handers. Garrett Bender grounds out to 3rd.

Top of the Second:
Phil Ebel doubles off the wall in left center... With 1 out, Jerry Sensenig, the 33 year old rookie, in his second Major League at bat, lines a hit to right... P Matt Nielson strikes out. Duane Keepers grounds out to 2nd!

Bottom of the Third:
Mike Volkman draws a walk, gets bunted to 2nd, goes to 3rd on a ground out and scores on a hit up the middle by Frank Wendell! Tie Game: 1 to 1.

Top of the Fourth:
With 1 out, Phil Ebel hits another double, this one down the right field line. A wild pitch sends him to 3rd. Johnny Brown lines a 3-2 pitch to right for a hit and Ebel scores... 2 to 1, Bombers. Jerry Sensenig draws a walk... P Matt Nielson bunts the runners up. Duane Keepers beats out an infield hit and Brown scores... 3 to 1, Bombers. David Rodriguez lines a hit to center and Sensenig scores... 4 to 1, Bombers.

Bottom of the Fourth:
Garrett Bender grounds a hit up the middle. Bobby Scrogham draws a walk. Joe Roberts swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds into a 5-4-3 double play and Bender goes to 3rd... Frank Roadman flies out to left...

Bottom of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, Leander Gooding and Frank Wendell hit back to back doubles! 4 to 2, Bombers.

Top of the Seventh:
With 1 out, David Rodriguez draws a walk. The Bullpen gets up. Lee Brand pokes a hit to right and Rodriguez beats the throw to 3rd. Mickey Lynn grounds out to 3rd and Brand goes to 2nd and Rodriguez holds at 3rd. Dave Lloyd lines a hit to center and Rodriguez scores... 5 to 2, Bombers. Phil Ebel takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 to load the bases up with 2 outs. Call to the Bullpen: Gary Adamson (35-R). Junior Danielson is in to play 2nd in a double switch. Johnny swings at the first pitch and sends a blast to deep left, but it is caught on the warning track!

Bottom of the Seventh:
With 2 outs, Leander Gooding lines a double to right. A passed ball sends him to 3rd. Frank Wendell walks on 4 pitches. Ismael Gonzales grounds one to 3rd, but David Rodriguez boots it and Gooding scores! 5 to 3, Bombers. Garrett Bender lines a hit to right and Wendell beats the throw home! 5 to 4, Bombers. If I was not so greedy, hoping that P Spencer Shuff could make it through one more inning, we might be tied up now...

Top of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Bill Grant (30-L). With 1 out, Lee Brand bloops a hit to center. With 2 outs, Dave Lloyd doubles to center and Brand scores... 6 to 4, Bombers.

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Billy Temple (24-R), their closer, who got the Save on Monday with a scoreless inning. Junior Danielson grounds out to 3rd. Leander Gooding strikes out... PH Danny Stewart (30-L) grounds out to 3rd...

Lost - 6 to 4
