Today is Dennis Brown's 30th birthday!

We are in Louisville to play the Colonels a short 2 game set. They split 4 games at Charlotte over the weekend. We were 4-10 against them last year when they finished 84-78 in 3rd place in the South. They were the only team in the South that we had a losing record against. They are 12th in scoring with 3.79 runs per game (Jacksonville is #11 with 3.89). We have scored 2 more runs than they have. They are last in the MLB in hitting at .234, but 2nd in walks (69). We are hitting better than average (.263), but are 2nd to last in walks (49). The Colonels are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.58 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 2.79!). Their run differential is -15, 2nd worst in the MLB, and ours with +21, the 3rd best. Only 4 teams are positive right now.

Baucom gave up 2 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts in 8.1 innings last time out in a win.

Corris, who was the #6 overall pick in the 2002 B Leagues Draft when Baucom was #1, is their #1 starter. He was 13-12 with a 2.94 ERA in 251 IP last year. He is 2-0 in 5 starts against the Jays in his career with a 2.31 ERA. 39 IP, 29 H, 1 HR, 11 BB, 19 SO.
