Trudy the Trainer has cleared SS Bart Daw (32-R) to play, so he was activated from the DL. 2B Junior Danielson (32-R) and RF Fernando Tello (22-L) were sent to Daytona (A). PH Mike Volkman (36-L) was recalled. He will not play the field, except in an emergency.
We are back home to play the Charlotte Hornets a short 2 game set. They split 4 games at home with Richmond over the weekend. We lost 2 of 3 the first time they visited, April 16-18. They are 2nd in scoring with 4.44 runs per game (Jacksonville is #10 with 3.88). The Hornets are 7th in fewest runs allowed with 4.00 per game (Jacksonville is still #1 with 2.72). Their run differential is +11 and ours is +29, still 2nd in the MLB to Buffalo's +35.

The one win we had in the first series we played with Charlotte was against Cox, their #1 starter. He gave us 5 runs (4 earned) on 10 hits, 1 home run and no walks with 3 strikeouts in 6.2 innings. It is his only loss on the season to date.
