Syracuse Sycamores (83-52 .615 4 GA in 1st place in the Northern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (69-65 .515 4.5 GB in 3rd place in the Southern Division)

SYR: Frank Cane (27-R) (9-4 2.20 ERA 122.2 IP, 104 H, 5 HR, 26 BB, 94 SO) vs.
JAX: Del Warwick (28-L) (11-11 2.65 ERA 197 IP, 192 H, 13 HR, 52 BB, 107 SO) Gold Glove

Cane is injury prone, but awesome when healthy. He is 21-14 with a 2.80 career ERA. He is 8-1 in his last 14 starts. The loss was his last start and he only allowed 1 hit in 7 innings with no walks, but the hit was a home run and the Sycamores were shut out. They have not scored a run in his last 2 starts. We faced him in Syracuse in June and scored 5 runs on 7 hits and 1 walk with 7 strikeouts in 5.2 innings in a no decision that we won. It was the only start for Cane all season that he allowed more than 3 runs.

Warwick gave up 2 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk with 2 strikeouts in 7.2 innings last time out in a no decision that we won in 13 innings.

Jeff Garrigus is 2 for 17 lifetime against Del Warwick.
I will wager that he gets two more hits today...
I would also put money on Frank Bates hitting a home run to today.

Game Start: 2:05 PM
Ballpark: Connie Mack Stadium
Weather: 90 F, Clear Skies, with a 7 MPH wind blowing left to right
Attendance: 9,303

Top of the First:
Jim Beard swings at the first pitch and beats out an infield hit... Jeff Garrigus pops out to right. I would not mind losing my wager... Frank Bates flies out to deep center. Dave Bess flies out to deep left!

Bottom of the First:
Cal Doty swings at the first pitch and doubles down the left field line! Danny Stewart strikes out looking.... I hope we can get a better center fielder this Winter... Doty steals 3rd! Jack Washburn swings at a 3-2 pitch and misses... Ray McDonald draws a walk. Ed Diskin swings at the first pitch and lines a hit to left and Doty scores! McDonald heads to 3rd and Jeff Garrigus throws the ball into the dugout for an error and McDonald scores! 2 to 0, Jays! Diskin has a knack for knocking in runs! He is only a .250 hitter, but is hitting .326 with runners in scoring position! Bert Swope swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short.

Top of the Third:
Bill Crystal, the ex-Jay, hits a home run to left. 2 to 1, Jays.

Top of the Fourth:
Frank Bates triples to right... Dave Bess grounds a hit to left and Bates scores... Tie Game: 2 to 2. Lee Dean grounds a hit up the middle and Bess beats the throw to 3rd... Dick Rothwell grounds one back to the box. P Del Warwick snags it, looks Bess back to 3rd and fires to 2nd, to start a 1-6-3 double play!! Octavio Garcia pops out to short!

Top of the Fifth:
Bill Crystal doubles high off the wall in right center... P Frank Cane bunts him to 3rd. Jim Beard pops out to 2nd. Jeff Garrigus up and I smell something rotten, but he strikes out!

Bottom of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, P Del Warwick grounds a hit to left, P Frank Cane is hurt. New Pitcher: John Boston (35-L), who is 3-2 with a 2.58 ERA in 52.1 IP with 1 start. Cal Doty grounds out to 2nd.

Bottom of the Sixth:
I do not want to pinch-hit for my lefties because all the rest of their rested relievers are right-handers. So Danny Stewart is allowed to bat and he walks on 4 pitches and then steals 2nd! With 1 out, they walk Ray McDonald intentionally to face Ed Diskin, who does not mind grounding into double plays... He does not this time, however, though he pops out to right... We will pinch-hit for Bert Swope, here, though. PH Marty Eades (32-R) strikes out.... Bert could have done that.... Eades will stay in to play 3rd and Don Kern will come in to catch.

Top of the Ninth:
On the Hill: Hal Bradford (27-L), after a scoreless 8th. The Bullpen is ready, though no one else is fresh. We have been outhit, 13 to 5. 7-8-9 up for them. PH Don Czachor (32-L), the .340 lifetime hitter, who is 0 for 2 this series, lines out to 1st. Bill Crystal, who has a double and a home run this game, doubles to left... PH John Byers (20-R), a rookie who was the #12 prospect this Spring and is batting .179 with 4 RBI in 28 AB, is sent up. Call to the Bullpen: Robbie Hopley (29-R). Crystal steals 3rd.... Byers lines a 1-2 pitch to left for a hit and Crystal scores... 3 to 2, Sycamores. Byers steals 2nd... Jim Beard swings at a 3-2 pitch and flies out to center. Jeff Garrigus grounds out to 2nd. Well, I lost my wager, as he is 0 fir 5 today, but I have also lost the game, which is not fair.... I should at least win something! Frank Bates did not hit a home run either, so I am 0 for 3....

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Benny Martineau (32-L), their All-Star(02) and Fireman Trophy wining closer, trying for his third Save in 4 days.... 32 SV and only 2 Blown all season.... 4-5-6 up for us. Ray McDonald strikes out... Don Kern swings at the first pitch and ground out to 1st, unassisted.... Marty Eades lines a hit to left. Bart Daw takes three straight strikes....
