Jacksonville Jays (83-36 .697 13 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Columbus Explorers (66-52 .559 11.5 GB in 3rd place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Dale Gilchrist (25-R) (10-9 3.71 ERA 157.2 IP, 150 H, 14 HR, 51 BB, 91 SO)
COL: Bill Halpin (28-R) (5-4 3.61 ERA 97.1 IP, 71 H, 6 HR, 47 BB, 61 SO)

Gilchrist has won 4 in a row and we are going to spoil his streak by making him pitch on short rest today. It is Mike Marsh's turn to go, but he is still suffering from back spasms. Trudy says it will not affect his pitching, but I know how that tale ends: with a torn labrum and 18 months on the DL.... Gilchrist gave up 1 run on 5 hits and 2 walks with 7 strikeouts in 8 innings last time out. If he can give us 5 innings, maybe our Bullpen, still tired from the doubleheader, can make it through to the end.

Other than being a bit wild, Halpin is a solid pitcher. He was 13-12 with a 3.48 ERA in 227.1 IP last year. We have only faced him once in his career and he beat us, giving us 4 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks with 2 strikeouts in 7 innings.
