We put P Dale Gilchrist (25-R) on the Disabled List and recalled P Mike Marsh (22-R), who has had some impressive outings for Daytona (A) of late. Some not so impressive, too...

Syracuse Sycamores (83-51 .619 5 GA in 1st place in the Northern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (68-65 .511 4.5 GB in 4th place in the Southern Division)

SYR: Ron Hutchins (32-R) (15-5 1.41 ERA 197.1 IP, 126 H, 5 HR, 54 BB, 187 SO) All-Star(3: 01-03) vs.
JAX: Danny Coreano (24-L) (6-5 3.26 ERA 85.2 IP, 75 H, 4 HR, 23 BB, 43 SO)

Someone said Hutchins needed a bop on the nose. Well, here is our chance to deliver one. He is the #1 starter on a staff full of #1 starters. He was 15-8 with a 2.77 ERA in 227.1 IP last year and led the MLB in strikeouts with 248. This year, he leads in the League in ERA, Shutouts and Strikeouts. The League is hitting .183 against him. He is actually, believe it or not, 0-1 in 2 starts against us in his career with a 5.40 ERA. 11.2 IP, 16 H, 0 HR, 3 BB, 15 SO. We did not face him in Syracuse this season.

Coreano gave up 2 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks with 3 strikeouts in 5 innings last time out in a win.

Game Start: 7:05 PM
Ballpark: Connie Mack Stadium
Weather: 84 F, Clear Skies, with an 8 MPH wind blowing out to right
Attendance: 8,983

Top of the First:
Jim Beard strikes out! Jeff Garrigus grounds a hit to right... Why does every team have one guy that we just cannot get out at all? Don Bruns walks on 4 pitches.... Frank Bates grounds into a 6-4-3 double play!!

Bottom of the First:
Cal Doty grounds one up the middle, but Buddy Elliott makes a diving stop and throws him out.... Ray McDonald flies out to center. Jack Washburn doubles to right. How many times has Marty Eades failed to get a 2 out hit to knock in a run in the 1st inning of late? Well, add one more to the tally... He strikes out...

Top of the Fourth:
Jeff Garrigus swings at a 3-2 pitch and flies out to center. 7 pitch AB. Don Bruns takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. 9 pitch AB. Frank Bates takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. 8 pitch AB. Lee Dean Takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 to load the bases up with 1 out. 7 pitch AB. The Bullpen gets up. Dave Bess strikes out on 3 pitches! Octavio Garcia swings at a 3-2 pitch and misses! 6 pitch AB. A 40 pitch inning with no runs! That is not something you see every day!

Bottom of the Fourth:
Marty Eades grounds a hit up the middle. Ed Diskin plunks a bunt down in front of the plate and C Lee Dean goes to 2nd for the force, but his throw is late! Don Kern grounds into a 5-4-3 double play and Eades goes to 3rd.... Bart Daw strikes out....

Top of the Seventh:
New Pitcher: Justin Reddick (31-R). P Danny Coreano was at 110 pitches after 6 innings and getting tired.... Dave Bess grounds out to short and Bart Daw boots it. Octavio Garcia lays down a bunt and C Don Kern goes to 2nd, but his throw is late... Here we go with another of those ridiculous innings... This is not P Reddick's fault at all, but the Bullpen gets up anyway. I do suspect his bad karma is to blame, though... Buddy Elliott flies out to deep center and Bess tags up and goes to 3rd. P Ron Hutchins fails to get a bunt down and swings away with 2 strikes and misses! Jim Beard lines one hard to deep right, but Ray McDonald runs it down!

Top of the Ninth:

Dave Bess takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. The Bullpen is stirring. PH Don Czachor (32-L), 0 for 1 yesterday, but a lifetime .340 hitter, lines out to short. We try to double Bess off at 1st, but he gets back in time... Buddy Elliott pops out to center!

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Eli Kyzar (31-R), a 2-time All-Star(01,03), who is 8-7 with 1 SV and a 2.52 ERA in 93 IP with 10 starts. He was 18-8 with a 2.37 ERA as a full-time starter in 2001. 3-4-5 up for us.

Bottom of the Tenth:
6-7-8 up for us. Don Kern beats out an infield hit. Bart Daw bunts into a force at 2nd, 1-6.... Danny Stewart grounds a hit up the middle and Daw beats the throw to 3rd! PH Dave Thompson (27-R) is sent up. Stewart steals 2nd.... Thompson strikes out.... Cal Doty lines a hit to right and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Jays!

Syracuse had 3 hits (all singles; 2 by Jeff Garrigus) and made 1 error
