Today is Ken Yockey's 27th birthday!

We are back home to play the New Orleans Pelicans a 3 game series. They were swept in 3 games at Richmond over the weekend and have lost 6 in a row. We are 7-4 against them on the season and lost 3 of 4 games in their first visit, June 15-18. They are 10th in scoring with 4.19 runs per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 4.63) we are only 10 runs ahead of Indianapolis now. The Pelicans are also 10th in fewest runs allowed with 4.31 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.22). We are not in imminent danger of being overtaken on that front. Their run differential is -17, 9th in the MLB, and ours is +201, still the best, more than 100 runs better than 2nd place Rochester (+98).

New Orleans Pelicans (63-81 .438 33 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (95-47 .669 18 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

NO: Ramiro Huerta (34-R) (11-12 4.57 ERA 181.1 IP, 196 H, 20 HR, 67 BB, 67 SO) Gold Glove(03)
JAX: Jim Baucom (25-L) (20-6 1.54 ERA 240.1 IP, 137 H, 12 HR, 49 BB, 261 SO) Ace(04)/Hurler(04)/All-Star(5: 02-06)

Believe it or not, Huerta, who is NOT a lefty, is 2-1 in 3 starts against the Jays this season with a 3.98 ERA. 20.1 IP, 18 H, 1 HR, 11 BB, 6 SO.

Baucom gave up 2 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks with 6 strikeouts in 7 IP at Buffalo last time out, but we only scored 1 run and he took a loss. We were in shut out in his start before that and he lost that one, too.

Top of the First
Franklin Sanchez strikes out! Len Walker lines a double to left..... Larry Davis grounds out to 2nd and Walker goes to 3rd. Jay Kegler strikes out on 3 pitches!

Bottom of the First
Tommy Adams pops out to short... Brian Bowden grounds out to short. Ray McDonald lines a hit to left! Jack Washburn swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 2nd... If we lose 3 games to this bum this year, it will be too embarrassing to endure.... Already losing 2 games to him is near unbearable.....

Top of the Second
With 1 out, Tsuyoshi Kotani takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... Fred Ferraro triples to right center and Kotani scores.... 1 to 0, Pelicans. Dave Behm pokes a 2-2 pitch to left center for a hit and Ferraro scores... 2 to 0, Pelicans. With Behm running, P Ramiro Huerta strikes out and C Bob Hutson throws Behm out stealing for a double play!!

Top of the Third
Franklin Sanchez grounds a double over the 3rd base bag.... But the next three make outs!

Top of the Fourth
With 1 out, Tsuyoshi Kotani strikes out, the 266th strikeout of the season for Jim Baucom, tying his own MLB record! Fred Ferraro pokes their fifth hit of the game to center.... Dave Behm strikes out to set a new MLB record with 267 strikeouts!

Bottom of the Fourth
Ray McDonald and Jack Washburn lead off with back to back walks! Tom McDowell doubles to left center and McDonald scores, but Washburn gets thrown out at the plate, 7-6-2......... NEVER MAKE THE FIRST OUT AT HOME!!!!!!! Idiots... 2 to 1, Pelicans. The next two make outs........

Bottom of the Fifth
Bob Hutson grounds a hit to right and P Jim Baucom bunts him to 2nd. Tommy Adams grounds a hit to center and Hutson beats the throw home and Adams takes 2nd! Tie Game: 2 to 2! CF Len Walker hurt himself making the throw. Franklin Sanchez moves to center and Tom Spiess (29-L) is in to play right. With 2 outs, Ray McDonald strikes out on 3 pitches against a pitcher who is striking out 3.3 per 9 innings.......................

Top of the Eight
Tom Spiess leads off with a 4 pitch walk.... The Bullpen gets up. Larry Davis walks on 4 pitches....... With 2 outs, Tsuyoshi Kotani hits a home run to right....... 5 to 2, Pelicans. Only his second home run of the season....

Bottom of the Ninth
New Pitcher: Edwin Rodriguez (25-L), their rookie closer, who is 5-9 with 10 SV and a 4.76 ERA in 62.1 IP. Last year, in 19 G, he only gave up 1 run in 25 IP. Our old friend, Charlie Faber (35-R) is in to play 2nd. PH Ken Yockey (27-R), the birthday boy, grounds one to 1st, but Fred Ferraro, who is there now, boots it! Tom McDowell lines the first pitch to right center for a hit! PH Greg Walker (24-S) grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and the runners move up. Buddy Hendricks grounds out to 1st, 3-1, and both runners advance. 5 to 3, Pelicans. PH T.R. Hunter (29-R), who only an idiot would send in to pinch-hit, since he has not made hard contact with a pitch since I can't remember when, swings at the first pitch and lines one hard to center! But Franklin Sanchez runs it down...........

Lost - 5 to 3

3 losses in a row for Jim Baucom........

We had 6 hits and made no errors
New Orleans had 9 hits and made 1 error

Over the last 12 games, we have scored 36 runs, an even average of 3 runs per game....

Jim Baucom (L 20-7) went 7.2 innings, allowed 5 runs, 8 hits, 1 home run, 3 walks and struck out 11. Sine the 1st of August, he is 3-4 with a 2.98 ERA. Certainly not horrible, but also certainly not Baucomesque.....
RHP Roger Wallace went 1.1 scoreless innings, allowed 1 hit and struck out 2.

Ramiro Huerta (W 12-12) went 8 innings, gave us 2 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. He is the first and one of the most unlikely pitchers to win 3 games from the Jays this season.... He's not even a lefty!
LHP Edwin Rodriguez (SV 11 ) went 1 inning, gave us 1 unearned run and 1 hit.

RF Ray McDonald had a hit and a walk and scored a run. 3B Tom McDowell had 2 hits with a double and an RBI.

For New Orleans, C Tsuyoshi Kotani hit his 2nd home run of the season, drew a walk, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBI. 2B Fred Ferraro had 3 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI.

The Pelicans announced that CF Len Walker had a sire shoulder that would bother his throwing for the next few weeks.
