Independence Day!

We put 2B Charlie Faber (33-R) on the DL and recalled Junior Danielson (33-R) from Daytona (A), where he was hitting a rousing .207.

Jacksonville Jays (52-28 .650 3.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Memphis Mules (35-46 .432 17.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Al Calice (23-R) (4-4 3.36 ERA 91 IP, 79 H, 7 HR, 34 BB, 44 SO) Rookie
MEM: Charlie Foltz (30-R) (3-7 3.69 ERA 107.1 IP, 104 H, 10 HR, 37 BB, 71 SO) All-Star(01)

Calice gave up 4 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks with 4 strikeouts in 6 innings last time out in a no decision that we won. I think it is funny that we have two rookies in our rotation who are both top 10 prospects, but are both older than Jim Baucom, who is tied for the all-time record in career shutouts!

We faced Foltz in April and scored 2 runs (1 earned) on 5 hits and no walks with 4 strikeouts in 3.1 innings in a no decision that he had to leave with an injury. We ended up losing the game.
