Yesterday's game was rained out and we tried to play a doubleheader today, but the weather would only let us get in one game. The other game will be made up in August, when we go to Columbus. So we have been shortchanged a home game this season...

Columbus Explorers (37-24 .607 1.5 GB in 2nd place in the Northern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (39-22 .639 3.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

COL: Ron Vanderpool (31-R) (3-4 3.59 ERA 52.2 IP, 59 H, 2 HR, 19 BB, 26 SO in A Ball)
JAX: Jim Baucom (22-L) (12-0 1.31 ERA 103.1 IP, 64 H, 3 HR, 13 BB, 97 SO) All-Star(2: 02-03)

Vanderpool had 1 start in 2002, which he lost, and 10 starts in 2001, when he went 2.4 with a 3.39 ERA. This will be his season debut today. We faced him once in 2001 and beat him, but only scored 2 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks with 5 strikeouts in 8 innings. We beat their two best pitchers and will likely lose to the bum one....

Baucom gave up 1 run on 4 hits and no walks with 6 strikeouts in 7 innings last time out in a win. I used to look forward to each start of Baucom's with eager anticipation, but now I dread each one for fear of him losing, especially ones, like today, when he is facing a nondescript opponent on the mound for the other team. I know he has to lose eventually, but I would like the first one, at least, to be a 1 to 0 game against another star pitcher.
