We are home to finish our season series with the Buffalo Bombers with 4 games through the weekend. They swept Charlotte in 4 games last weekend, outscoring them 36 to 14. Most people think of the Bombers as a team that just pummels their opponents with their home run bats, but they had 3 starting pitchers make the All-Star team. We somehow managed to win 3 of the 4 games we played in Buffalo, April 8-11, shutting them out 3 times. They are 2nd in scoring with 4.82 runs per game (Jacksonville is up to #5 with 4.26). They lead the MLB with 89 HR. We are tied for 10th with 58. The Bombers are 3rd in fewest runs allowed with 3.39 per game, even though they play in the best hitters park in the MLB (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.18). Their run differential is +126, the best in the League, and ours is +94, 3rd best, behind Orlando (+112).
