We face the Biloxi Jackals for the final time in the 3 game series hoping to make it 2 wins out of 2. I myself am just trying to break my long hitless streak of 5 games.

The loss of Jose Juarez in the last game has seen the Black Cats send us relief pitcher Miguel Puga from the AAA Tulsa Aggies.

The manager has decided on the following line-up for today's game

SS T. J. Kiritsis
2B Casey McCauley
1B Chris LaBuff
3B Joshua Mills
DH Steve Bielecki
RF Cooper Houghton
CF Chris Severson
LF Tanner Rice
Catcher Josh Pittman

On the mound today is Matt Hood. Hood lost his last outing and is now 1-2 for the year. We are hoping to give him his second win from today's game.

Top of the first and Eteldrum will be the Jackals lead off man. Eteldrum gets a strike out to start the game well for Hood. Shartzer is the second out as McCauley grabs a little infield pop up. Warsaw manages to get a base hit past first to get the Jackals going. Warsaw then steals second after a ball to Bellinger. Bellinger puts a grounder back to Hood on the mound for out number 3 to retire the Jackals.

Bottom of the first and we will lead off with Kiritsis. Kiritsis is the first out as he grounds to second. McCauley then gets a base after a fastball plunks him hard. LaBuff is the second out as he goes down swinging. This will bring me up and I am nervous about how this is going to play. I get the ball into play and it is a slow roller towards third. I run for first and the fielder doesn't have time to make the throw. I have done it I have managed to get my first hit for over 5 games. Bielecki then leaves me and McCauley stranded as he strikes out to leave the game scoreless.

Top of the second and Saintlouis is the first out of the inning as he strikes out on a full count. Schulze takes a walk as Hood looses control. Uitermarkt is out number 2 as he puts a fly ball out to centre field for Severson to take. Hinds comes in to face Hood and takes a strike. Schulze makes a run for second but Pittman sees it and gets the ball there to get the out and end the inning.

Bottom of the second and Houghton is our first man up. Houghton strikes out to be the first man down as well. Severson also strikes out for number 2. The game remains scoreless as a long slow fly ball from Rice ends up in the left fielders glove.

Top of the third and Hood will face Hinds again. Hinds gets one out towards second but McCauley makes a quick grab and throw to first for the out. Ladewig then goes down swinging for out number 2. Eteldrum puts a grounder out towards right but LaBuff at first grabs it and makes the easy tag for the out.

Bottom of the third and Pittman is up first for us. Pittman is out after a grounder to third sees him cut down at first. Kiritsis pops one up into foul territory on the right that their first baseman takes for out number 2. McCauley then puts a grounder out to short that is sent to first to keep the game scoreless.

Top of the fourth and Hood will be up against Shartzer. Shartzer sends a return ball to Hood who fires to first to get him out. Warsaw then strikes out for number 2. Bellinger gets one to float out to right field for a base hit but he gets stranded at first when Saintlouis strikes out for number 3.

Bottom of the fourth and LaBuff will be our lead off hitter. LaBuff puts a grounder out to short right field that sees him get onto first base comfortably. This brings me up for my second go of the game with more confidence after the hit in the first. I get one to go out to deep centre field but the fielder ranges under it to make the catch. Bielecki then flies out to right field for the second out of the inning. Houghton strikes out for the second time to leave LaBuff stranded and the game scoreless. After 4.

Top of the fifth and Hood will continue against Schulze. Kiritsis gets a hard hit grounder at short that he fires to first to get Schulze. Houghton then makes the second out by hustling in to take a line drive in right field from Uitermarkt. McCauley then ends the inning by taking Hinds' little roller at second and getting the out at first with the throw.

Bottom of the fifth and we will start off with Severson. Severson puts a little bouncer out towards first and then beats the throw for an infield hit. Rice comes in next but can only put a fly ball out to the left fielder for out number 1. Pittman then comes in but grounds straight to short where the Jackals make a regulation double play to take Pittman and Severson and leave the game scoreless.

Top of the sixth and Hood continues facing Ladewig. Ladewig gets a grounder to go past second for a base hit. Ladewig then moves to second as Eteldrum grounds out to McCauley at second base. Hood then gets another strike out as Shartzer goes down swinging for out number 2. That is all Hood will get as the manager sends in Miguel Puga to pitch for the first time for us. Puga faces Warsaw up first. Warsaw puts one out to left field and Rice has to make a diving catch that just lands in his glove for a spectacular catch to retire the side.

Bottom of the sixth and Kiritsis will be in the batters box first for us. Kiritsis goes down swinging for the first out. McCauley flies out to right field to be the second out. LaBuff cannot keep the inning alive as his shallow pop up is taken by the Jackals right fielder. The score remains 0-0.

Top of the seventh and Puga will continue for us. Bellinger is up first and strikes out to give Puga his first one at short A level. Pittman makes an error on a Saintlouis pop up above home plate but it doesn't hurt as it falls foul. Puga then gets Saintlouis to a full count before striking him out for number 2. That will be it for Puga as Arocho comes in to face the pinch hitting Selewski. Selewski puts one straight to short along the ground and it is fired to LaBuff at first for the out. That retires the side.

Bottom of the seventh and I will be our lead off man. I get the inning going with a nice little base hit out to short right centre. Bielecki comes in next facing a new pitcher. I hustle to second as Bielecki gets one to fall safe in short right centre as well. Houghton is up third but he can only send a line drive straight to the short stop for the first out. Mendoza pinch hits for Severson and gets a walk that sees me move to third and Bielecki move to second. We now have the bases loaded with Angel Espinal coming in to pinch hit for Rice. Espinal gets a walk on a full count that sees me come home for the games first run. Bielecki moves to third and Mendoza to second to leave the bases loaded. Pittman becomes out number 2 as he strikes out. Kiritsis comes in and gets one he really likes. He cracks it good and it sails over the fence for a GRAND SLAM to score 4 for us. The ball was measured at 426 feet. We now lead 5-0. McCauley is up next with a new pitcher on the mound. The Jackals finally end our inning as McCauley grounds out to the third baseman. We lead 5-0

Top of the eighth and we go with Carlos Moreno on the mound for the first time. Moreno gets Uitermarkt to swing away first up for his first K of the game. Hinds gets lucky as Kiritsis miss handles a grounder allowing him to make base. Ladewig puts one out to right centre where substitute fielder Queen is waiting to make the catch for out number 2. Houghton then ends the inning by hustling into grab a short fly ball from Eteldrum to retire the side.

Bottom of the eighth and we are leading off with LaBuff. LaBuff strikes out bringing me up to the plate for the fourth time in the game. I take it to a full count but then go and swing at a fast one that I miss for the strike out. Bielecki also strikes out to leave the game set at 5-0 in our favour.

Top of the ninth and Carols Moreno will continue on the mound. Shartzer is first up and puts a grounder my way that I fire to first and the out. My first active action in the field for some time. Warsaw strikes out for number 2 as the Jackals start to go down tamely. Bellinger shows some fight as he gets a base hit out to left field but Saintlouis goes and strikes out for a third time to end the inning for the Jackals and the game.

We win a second game on the trot and this time it was a 5-0 win. I also finally got going again with a 2-4 day and a run scored. Matt Hood got player of the game honours. Arocho got the win.

We are on the road tomorrow, travelling to the Gulfport Riptides. It will be the basement dwellers series as our 13-21 record will be going up against the Riptides 11-23 record.
