Jacksonville Jays (14-8 .636 0 GA tied for 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Memphis Mules (8-14 .364 6 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Dale Gilchrist (25-R) (1-1 1.19 ERA 22.2 IP, 16 H, 2 HR, 9 BB, 13 SO) vs.
MEM: Charlie Foltz (30-R) (2-2 3.38 ERA 26.2 IP, 23 H, 4 HR, 9 BB, 12 SO) All-Star(01)

Gilchrist, who is currently 2nd in the MLB in ERA behind Jim Baucom, will likely not be after this game, with all their lefty sluggers... He gave up 1 run on 7 hits and 3 walks with 4 strikeouts in 7.1 innings last time out in a no decision that we lost in 11 innings.

Foltz was 13-15 with a 4.05 ERA in 220 IP last year. He is 4-3 in 8 starts against the Jays in his career with a 4.73 ERA. 53.1 IP, 57 H, 1 HR, 25 BB, 35 SO.

Top of the First
Cal Doty swings at a 3-2 pitch and triples to center! His 3rd triple of the season! Fernando Tello grounds out to the pitcher and Doty has to hold... How can someone tattoo the ball the way he did in Spring Training hit so tamely once the season starts? Ray McDonald strikes out.... Yep... Tom McDowell lines one hard, straight to the Gold Glove right fielder, but Ron Alario clanks it for a 2 base error and Doty scores! 1 to 0, Jays! Jack Washburn strikes out...

Bottom of the First
Steve Gress swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 3rd. Rafael Jimenez grounds one to 1st, but Jack Washburn boots it... Already his 4th error... Keith Meyer lines out to right.

Bottom of the Second
P Dale Gilchrist strikes out the side in order!

Top of the Third

Top of the Fourth

Top of the Sixth
Leander Gooding draws a walk. Charlie Faber lines a hit to right center and Gooding beats the throw to 3rd! Editor's Note: P Dale Gilchrist is the best hitter available right now, but if I let him bat, the A.I. will have him bunt... PH Junior Danielson (32-R) grounds into a force at 2nd, 1-6, and Gooding holds at 3rd... Cal Doty grounds into a force at 2nd, 4-6, but Danielson took out the shortstop with his slide and Gooding scores. Tie Game: 4 to 4!
