Wednesday, July 27, 2005

The game was rained out yesterday and we both had off days scheduled for today, so the Hornets stuck around to play the game today. We scheduled it early, so they could get away quicker. Editor's Note: I did this manually, as OOTP rescheduled the game in Charlotte. By the way, it is fine to reschedule games during the season manually and it causes no problems, but any edits you make will carry over to next season, so you need to import a new schedule in the preseason.

Charlotte Hornets (50-50 .500 10 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (60-40 .600 2.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

CHAR: Charlie Foltz (31-R) (5-4 3.05 ERA 150.2 IP, 123 H, 11 HR, 61 BB, 94 SO) All-Star(2: 01,05)
JAX: Al Calice (24-R) (8-7 4.23 ERA 127.2 IP, 138 H, 11 HR, 43 BB, 85 SO)

Thanks to the rainout, we have to face Foltz, their #1 starter, instead of their #5... He beat us with a CG in the 2nd game of the season, giving us 1 run on 8 hits and 1 walk with 8 strikeouts.

Calice gave up 4 runs on 8 hits, 1 home run and 2 walks with 5 strikeouts in 7 innings last time out, but managed to pick up a win at Hartford.
