Dunedin Blue Jays News Release


DUNEDIN, FL - The Dunedin Blue Jays (22-14) used six runs in the fifth inning to bolster them in a 9-3 win over the Jupiter Hammerheads (21-15) on Saturday night. RHP Sean Reid-Foley (W, 6-1) allowed just one hit over 6.2 innings while fanning nine.

While Reid-Foley was taking care of business on his end, the Jays jumped out to a lead in the second on a 2B Jorge Flores single. Two frames later, RF Jonathan Davis took LHP Michael Mader (L, 6-6) deep to left. The solo shot put Dunedin up 2-0.

The Jays ambushed Jupiter in the fifth with a six spot. Dunedin used two walks, four singles and two errors without an extra base hit in the inning to plate their runs. The errors came on the same play, a fielder's choice with the bases loaded off the bat of LF D.J. Davis. The dribbler towards first was fielded by the new pitcher LHP James Buckalew, who threw errantly to home. That scored the runner from third and also brought 1B L.B. Dantzler in from second. C Michael De La Cruz provided the exclamation point in the stanza with a two-out single scoring two more.

Up 8-0, Reid-Foley exited in the seventh after 99 pitches with one of his four walks of the night on first. RHP Brad Allen allowed a double to 3B Avery Romero which scored Reid-Foley's only charged run. Allen gave up a two-run blast to DH Brad Haynal, making it an 8-3 game.

CF Anthony Alford belted his fifth home run of the year to right field in the eighth, providing the 9-3 final.

With a 2-0 series lead, Dunedin's RHP Francisco Rios duels in the third game of the four game set with LHP Scott Squier. First pitch is at 5:00 PM Sunday night. This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.
