Bottom of the Second:
Tom Tye grounds a hit up the middle. Ken Barr doubles to left... Pia! A train ticket! Who should get the return ticket? I dunno....

Juan Duarte swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short!
Bottom of the Third:
Gus Milam leads off with a home run to left center... 2 to 0, Steamrollers.

Bart Daw pops one to center, but Scott McKee cannot hang on to the ball for an error! With 1 out, P Dalton Hartman bunts Daw to 2nd. Cal Doty lines his first hit since his return from the DL to right center and Daw scores! 2 to 1, Steamrollers.

Lost - 6 to 1
We had 4 whole hits off this bum (all singles) and made 2 errors
Providence had 12 hits and made 2 errors
Dalton Hartman (L 1-1) went 6 innings, allowed 3 runs, 8 hits, 2 home runs, no walks and struck out 4. Pia canceled his train ticket of her own volition. I think she has a crush on him... Anyway, I'll let him start one more game. There is no one at Daytona (A) that we can reasonably expect to do any better, except for Manny Martinez, but he is not pitching again until after the trade deadline.
RHP Barry Finney went 1.2 innings, allowed 3 runs (2 earned), 4 hits, 2 home runs and struck out 1.
RHP Roger Wallace got 1 out.
Norm Kent (W 4-1) went 8 innings, gave us 1 unearned run, 3 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3.
C Bert Swope had a hit and a walk. PH Tony Becerra drew a walk and stole a base.
For Providence, 1B Gus Milam had 3 hits with 2 home runs. He now has 13 HR on the season, tied for 3rd most in the League.
Around the League: Charlotte made another trade, sending RF Ron Bylina (26-L) to Ottawa for P Bob Stephens (25-R) and minor league RP Miguel Tejeda (23-R).
Bylina was only hitting .233 in 73 AB, but had 4 3B and 3 HR and 9 BB, good for an .818 OPS. Stephens was 3-5 with a 4.23 ERA in 9 starts, but was 9-11 with a 3.22 ERA last year. Tejeda was the #65 prospect this Spring and was 2-0 with 8 SV and 2.70 ERA in 36.2 IP for Hamilton (A). He had 24 BB, but the Hornets say they are going to try him out in the closer role for them.
