Independence Day!

We are back home to play Orlando a 3 game series. They just split a pair of games at home with Charlotte. We split 4 games with them in their first visit to us, May 1-4. The Juice are 3rd in scoring with 4.25 runs per game (Jacksonville is #15 with 3.67). They are 14th in fewest runs allowed with 4.48 per game (Jacksonville is #12 with 4.29). Their run differential is -18 and ours is -49.

Orlando Juice (36-43 .456 12.5 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (35-43 .449 13 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division)

ORL: Manny Martinez (31-R) (6-5 2.77 ERA 84.1 IP, 80 H, 5 HR, 19 BB, 72 SO) vs.
JAX: Jim Baucom (22-L) (6-4 2.45 ERA 121.1 IP, 105 H, 5 HR, 22 BB, 102 SO) All-Star

Martinez is their #1 starter. We faced the ex-Jay once this year and did not score a run, but he only went 1.1 innings before having to leave with an injury.

Baucom gave up 5 runs on 9 hits, 1 home run and no walks with 5 strikeouts in 6 innings last time out, but he got a win, anyway.

Top of the First:
Ernie Patterson pokes a hit to left... Danny Hutchinson grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Patterson goes to 2nd. Ricky Perez flies out to deep left. Herman Chance pops out to right!

Bottom of the First:
Cal Doty grounds out to 3rd. Don Kern grounds out to short. Dennis Brown swings at the first pitch and grounds out to 1st, unassisted...

Bottom of the Second:
Marty Eades grounds a hit up the middle. With 1 out, Ed Diskin grounds a hit up the middle and Eades beats the throw to 3rd. Bart Daw swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds into a force at 2nd, 5-4, and Eades scores. 1 to 0, Jays! Ed Diskin is hurt sliding into 2nd, but Trudy says he is okay!

Bottom of the Third:
With 2 outs, Don Kern doubles to right! P Manny Martinez is hurt... New Pitcher: Daniel Escarcega (32-R), who is 1-4 with 2 SV and a 7.28 ERA in 38.1 IP with 56 H and 11 HR and 30 BB. He had a 3.38 ERA in 64 IP last year. One of his losses this year is against us. Dennis Brown grounds out to 1st, unassisted....

Our joy at getting to face P Escarcega is short-lived, as he also gets hurt after only facing 3 batters....

Bottom of the Fifth:
On the Hill: Rick Pell (29-L), after getting the final 2 outs of the Fourth. Gary McKellar draws a walk and P Jim Baucom bunts him to 2nd. Cal Doty takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. Don Kern hits an 0-2 pitch over the wall in right center for a home run!!! 4 to 0, Jays!

Top of the Eighth:
Ernie Patterson and Danny Hutchinson lead off with back to back hits. The Bullpen gets up. But the next three go down with 2 strikeouts!

Won - 4 to 0

We had 6 hits and made 1 error
Orlando had 6 hits and made 1 error

Jim Baucom (W 7-4) pitched 9 shutout innings (CG), allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 12. He threw a WP. 128 pitches. His 1st shutout of the season and 5th of his career! It is only the 3rd time a Jay hurler has reached double figures in K's and the 2nd time by Baucom! The other time was by his opponent today, Manny Martinez. He comes up 1 shy of his own team record. With this win, he also raises his lifetime record to .500 (18-18)!

Manny Martinez (L 6-6) went 2.2 innings, gave us 1 run, 3 hits, no walks and struck out no one.

C Don Kern hit a double and his 4th home run of the season and had 3 RBI. RF Ray McDonald hit a double in his only at bat.

The Juice announce that P Manny Martinez had elbow inflammation and they expected him to be out about 2 weeks and would put him on the DL. RP Danny Escarcega also had elbow inflammation, but they expected him to miss the rest of the season. That is what you call a mercy killing....
