Jacksonville Jays (51-28 .646 3.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Memphis Mules (35-45 .438 16.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division)
JAX: Jim Baucom (23-L) (15-1 1.53 ERA 135.2 IP, 87 H, 3 HR, 18 BB, 126 SO) All-Star(2: 02-03)
MEM: Darrell Carraway (36-R) (3-5 3.02 ERA 80.1 IP, 72 H, 4 HR, 32 BB, 46 SO)
Baucom gave up 3 runs on 7 hits and 1 walk with 7 strikeouts in 8 innings last time out in his 1st loss of the season. How will he react? We will bounce back with his best game of the season or collapse and lose a bunch in a row?
We beat Carraway in May, but only scored 1 run on 6 hits and 3 walks with 3 strikeouts in 6 innings. Baucom pitched a 3 hit shutout with 11 SO that game.

Top of the First
Charlie Faber, the greatest leadoff man ever, lines a double to left center! Fernando Tello grounds out to 2nd and Faber goes to 3rd. Cal Doty swings at the first pitch and grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Faber holds... Ray McDonald grounds out to 2nd....
Bottom of the First
Tony Weninger swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short. Bill Weydert swings at the first pitch and fouls out to 1st. Keith Meyer swings at the first pitch and beats out an infield hit... Nestor Gonzalez swings at the first pitch and pops out to short!
Top of the Third
With 1 out, Charlie Faber draws a walk. Fernando Tello grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Faber is hurt breaking up the double play.... Leander Gooding (33-R) will go in to play 2nd.
Through 5 innings, the leadoff double by Charlie Faber is the only hit we have...
Top of the Seventh
Jack Washburn doubles to left! They walk Bart Daw intentionally. Jim Hess grounds into a 5-4-3 double play and Washburn goes to 3rd..... P Jim Baucom grounds a hit to right and Washburn scores! 1 to 0, Jays!
Top of the Eighth
New Pitcher: John Robillard (28-R), their closer, who is 4-8 with 7 SV and a 5.91 ERA in 53.1 IP. Fernando Tello takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 and goes to 2nd on a ground out. They walk Ray McDonald intentionally. Tom McDowell bloops a hit to right and the bases are loaded with 1 out. Jack Washburn walks on 4 pitches to force in a run! 2 to 0, Jays!

Top of the Ninth
Leander Gooding doubles to right center! Fernando Tello walks on 4 pitches.... I think I might be looking for a new closer, if I was in charge of the Mules.... Cal Doty lines a hit to center and the bases are loaded with no outs! They cannot walk Ray McDonald intentionally this time and he whacks the first pitch on a line to left center for a double and 2 runs score!! 6 to 0, Jays! That does it for P Robillard, whose season ERA is now 7.00. New Pitcher: Jackie Wade (28-R), who is 0-2 with 1 SV and a 2.12 ERA in 17 IP. Tom McDowell grounds out to 2nd and Doty scores and McDonald goes to 3rd. 7 to 0, Jays! Jack Washburn draws a walk. Bart Daw swings at the first pitch and grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and McDonald scores. 8 to 0, Jays!
Won - 8 to 0
It is the first time ever the Jays have had 3 straight Complete Games from their starters!
We had 9 hits and made 1 error
Memphis had 3 hits and made 1 error
Jim Baucom (W 16-1) pitched 9 shutout inning (CG), allowed 3 hits, no walks and struck out 8. 106 pitches. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI. I'd say he bounced back! It is his MLB leading 6th shutout of the season and the 15th of his career, tying him with Tom Peterson of Syracuse for the all-time lead! Peterson has made 114 starts and Baucom, only 88.
Darrell Carraway (L 3-6) went 7 innings, gave us 1 run, 4 hits, 4 walks (1 INT) and struck out 4. He threw a WP. Twice he has faced the Jays this season and twice he has lost to a Jim Baucom shutout!
2B Charlie Faber went 1 for 1 with a double and a walk. 2B Leander Gooding his a double and scored a run. RF Fernando Tello drew 2 walks and scored 2 runs. CF Cal Doty had 2 hits and scored a run. LF Ray McDonald hit a double, drew a walk (INT), scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI. 3B Tom McDowell had a hit, scored a run and had an RBI. 1B Jack Washburn hit a double and drew 3 walks, scored a run and had an RBI. SS Bart Daw drew 2 walks (1 INT) and had 2 RBI.
Trudy's report on Charlie Faber is wrist tendinitis that she expects to bother him for two weeks or so... We will put him on the DL.
