The Richmond Robins are here to play a short 2 game set. They split 4 games with the Arrows in Indianapolis over the weekend. We are 2-5 against them on the season and were swept in 3 games the first time they visited us,. getting outscored, 27 to 12. They are 2nd in scoring, 1 run behind the leader, Buffalo, with 4.80 runs per game (Jacksonville is up to #6 with 4.15!). The Robins are hitting an amazing .285 as a team and are 2nd in walks, which means they lead the MLB with a .345 OBP. We do not have a lot of batters with a .345 OBP.... They also lead in doubles (131) and triples (28) and are 1 behind us in SB with 70. Their OPS is 50 points higher than ours (.750 to .700). The Robins are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.32 per game (Jacksonville is still #1 with 3.32). Their run differential is +36, 5th best, and ours is +61, 2nd best.

Richmond Robins (45-30 .600 3.5 GB in 2nd place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (48-26 .649 3.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

RICH: Billy Warner (25-R) (6-3 1.96 ERA 73.1 IP, 58 H, 4 HR, 17 BB, 60 SO) All-Star
JAX: Jim Baucom (23-L) (15-0 1.41 ERA 127.2 IP, 80 H, 3 HR, 17 BB, 119 SO) All-Star(2: 02-03)

Warner is their #1 starter. We faced him in April and beat him, but only scored 1 run on 2 hits and a home run with 4 strikeouts in 3.2 innings when he had to leave with an injury. He has not allowed more than 1 run in any of his last 4 starts. He has been tougher on lefties than righties in his career and we only have 3 righties in the lineup....

Baucom gave up 2 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks with 7 strikeouts in 8 innings last time out in a win. I got a bad feeling that today is the day for loss #1.....

Top of the First
Jose Vazquez lines the first pitch of the game to center for a hit.... Skip Dunkin lines the second pitch of the game to center for a hit.... Ray Holloway swings at a 3-2 pitch and doubles to right and Vazquez scores... 1 to 0, Robins. I envisioned the first loss as a 1 to 0 affair against another star pitcher like we are facing to day, but they are going to maul P Jim Baucom.... Andres Borges lines out hard to right and Dunkin tags up and scores.... 2 to 0, Robins. Vince Depew grounds out to short and Holloway goes to 3rd. A wild pitch scores Holloway.... 3 to 0, Robins. Andy Schaeffer strikes out.

Bottom of the First
Charlie Faber grounds out to 2nd. Fernando Tello swings at a 3-2 pitch and flies out to left. Cal Doty strikes out....

Bottom of the Second
P Jim Baucom strikes out their 7-8-9 hitters in order!

We load the bases up on 2 walks and an error with 2 outs in the 2nd, but P Jim Baucom is at the plate and he pops out to the catcher....

Through 6 innings, we have 2 hits...

Bottom of the Seventh
Tom McDowell lines a 3-2 pitch to right center for a double! But the next three make outs with 2 strikeouts....

Lost - 3 to 0

We had 3 whole hits and made 2 errors
Richmond had 7 hits and made 2 errors

Jim Baucom (L 15-1) went 8 innings, allowed 3 runs, 7 hits, 1 walk (INT) and struck out 7. He threw a WP. 116 pitches.
RHP Robbie Hopley pitched a perfect inning.

Billy Warner (W 7-3) pitched 9 shutout innings (CG), gave us 3 hits, 2 walks and struck out 8. He threw a WP. 133 pitches. At bat, he had a hit. Game Score of 87 is a new high for an opponent this season. It is his 2nd shutout of the season and 7th of his career. 3 of them have been against the Jays, the most by any opponent.

3B Tom McDowell had 2 hits with a double.
