We finish the season series with Buffalo 2-6.
We had 13 hits and made no errors
Buffalo had 6 hits and made 1 error
The best thing about this series was that LF Mickey Lynn came to town with 39 HR and leaves town with 39 HR!
Mike Gaddis (W 6-13) went 9 innings (CG), allowed 1 run, 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6. He threw a WP. 107 pitches. His 2nd CG in in his last 3 starts! If you told me, after he started the season 0-4 with an ERA over 12 and got sent to Daytona (A), where he was 0-5 in 5 starts, that he would end up being our #1 pitcher on the season, I would have thought you were nuts!
Jose Lopez (L 7-5) went 2+ innings, gave us 7 runs, 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2.
SS Leander Gooding had 2 hits with a double, stole a base and scored a run. Since coming back from the DL after missing 7 weeks, he is 17 for 51 (.333) with 5 2B! RF Mike Volkman had 2 hits and scored a run. LF Joe Roberts had 2 hits, stole his 30th base of the season, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. C Garrett Bender had 3 hits and scored a run. 1B Tony Becerra hit a double, drew a walk, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI. 2B Frank Roadman hit a double and a triple and had 3 RBI.
