We are in Syracuse to play the defending MLB champions a 4 game series through the weekend. They just split a pair of games here with Indianapolis. We were 5-3 against them last year when they finished 100-62 in 1st place in the North. But then we lost the Millennial Cup to them in 6 games..... They are last in scoring with 2.93 runs per game (Jacksonville is up to #7 with 4.33). They are 4th in the MLB in HR with 38, but are only hitting .212. .238 is the worst BA any team has ever finished the season with (Ottawa - 2003). They Sycamores are tied for 2nd in fewest runs allowed with 3.36 per game (Jacksonville is still #1 with 3.02). Their run differential is -19, 12th in the MLB, and ours is +60, now #1! They have won the Northern Division every season so far, but are below .500 this year.

Jacksonville Jays (30-16 .652 1 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division) at
Syracuse Sycamores (22-23 .489 6.5 GB in 4th place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Danny Coreano (26-L) (2-2 5.81 ERA 26.1 IP, 31 H, 5 HR, 8 BB, 13 SO)
SYR: David Huerta (24-L) (1-2 1.74 ERA 46.2 IP, 35 H, 2 HR, 18 BB, 38 SO)

Coreano gave up 4 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks with 3 strikeouts in 4.2 innings last time out in a loss.

Huerta was 7-5 with a 3.05 ERA in 109.1 IP as a rookie last year. We faced him once and he held us to 1 run on 4 hits and no walks with 9 strikeouts in 7.1 innings in a no decision. We beat him in the Millennial Cup, scoring 4 runs (3 earned) on 7 hits and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts in 7 IP.
