Our trainer gave me some bad news today. P Terry Melton is not responding to treatment and it will probably be next weekend before he can pitch.

P Lonny Tomski (27-R) was optioned to Vancouver (AAA) and P Tony Kelley (26-R) was recalled to Portland. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, we transferred CF Buddy French to the 60 day DL.

Whichever of the two new pitchers, Kelley or Tim Carrol (26-R) pitches better will stay when Terry Melton is ready to pitch again and the other will go back to Vancouver. If they both stink, we will try someone else.

Portland Beavers (21-19 .525 3 GB in 3rd place in the PCL West) at
San Diego Padres (18-22 .450 6 GB in 5th place in the PCL West)

POR: Ron Wolf (27-R 4-2 4.11 ERA) vs. SD: Mike Nackley (26-L 4-4 2.60 ERA)

Nackley is their Ace and one of the best pitchers in Baseball. He is tied with our own Terry Melton for the PCL lead in CG with 4 and he leads the league with 52 SO. On April 13, he pitched a 2 hit shutout against the Seals, walking 5 and striking out 12. The Padres have him signed through Year VII.

They send up PH Butch Nelson (25-R). He flies out to deep left. 1 out. Another pinch-hitter: Ernie McGuire (34-R). Call to the Bullpen: Antoine Redd (31-R), because he is the least gassed of the bunch. Perry Templet (23-L) comes in to play center on a double switch and Jeff Schottler moves to left. McGuire flies out to deep right and Rojas moves to 3rd. 2 out. Pinch-hitter: Pedro de Jesus (25-L), hitting .345 on the season (10 for 29).
