Charlotte Hornets (81-66 .551 0 GA tied for 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (72-75 .490 9 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division)

CHAR: Ron Simon (30-R) (10-10 4.16 ERA 192.2 IP, 182 H, 25 HR, 38 BB, 133 SO) All-Star(02)
JAX: Marc Uhrich (28-L) (0-1 8.71 ERA 10.1 IP, 14 H, 1 HR, 3 BB, 3 SO)

Simon is 1-0 in 2 starts against us this season with a 3.86 ERA. 14 IP, 10 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 9 SO.

Uhrich last pitched on August 24, nearly a month ago. He gave up 5 runs on 10 hits and 1 walk with 3 strikeouts in 5.1 innings in a no decision that we won. We have unfortunate timing in that Dale Gilchrist is ready to pitch, but still needs to serve one more day on the DL....

PH Jim Sabin (35-R), batting .231 with 5 RBI in 39 AB, lines a hit to left and Evans beats the throw to 3rd... The Bullpen gets up. Larry Davis, the .350 hitter, grounds out to short!

Bottom of the Tenth:
