We go all the way from Jacksonville to Providence to finish our season series with the Steamrollers in 4 games. Then we have to be back in Jacksonville for the weekend. Providence split 4 games in New Orleans over the weekend. We split 4 games with the Steamrollers in Jacksonville, May 8-11. They are 9th in scoring with 3.95 runs per game (Jacksonville is #15 with 3.61). They are last in the MLB with 48 SB and we are 2nd with 104. Rochester leads with 107. The Steamrollers are 10th in fewest runs allowed with 4.12 (Jacksonville is #11 with 4.17). We have each allowed 375 runs, but they have played one more game than we have. Their run differential is -16 and ours is -50.

Jacksonville Jays (41-49 .456 12.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division) at
Providence Steamrollers (43-48 .473 13.5 GB in 5th place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Dave Buchalter (25-R) (2-2 4.47 ERA 48.1 IP, 44 H, 9 HR, 26 BB, 29 SO) Rookie vs.
PROV: Norm Kent (36-R) (3-4 4.53 ERA 87.1 IP, 90 H, 8 HR, 30 BB, 30 SO)

Buchalter allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, 2 home runs and 3 walks with 4 strikeouts in 6 innings in his last start in a loss. He got 2 outs in relief in his last outing, 9 days ago. A bum start today will earn him a ticket to Daytona (A).

We beat Kent in May, scoring 8 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks with 1 strikeout in 6.1 innings.
