Dunedin Blue Jays News Release


DUNEDIN, FL - The Dunedin Blue Jays (17-8) won two games on Monday night against the Charlotte Stone Crabs (12-11). Dunedin took 14 minutes to wrap up a suspended game with a 4-3 tenth inning win followed by a nine-inning 4-1 victory.

After last night's contest was suspended following the ninth inning, LHP Alonzo Gonzalez (W, 4-4) tossed a 1-2-3 tenth to turn it over to the offense. CF Anthony Alford led off with a double against RHP Mike Franco (L, 4-4) in the home half. With one out and the bases loaded, SS Gunnar Heidt singled up the middle to give Dunedin a 4-3 win after just 14 minutes of play.

In the second game, RHP Chris Rowley (W, 8-2) tossed seven frames, allowing only an unearned run. The Jays took an early 1-0 lead in the second when 3B Dickie Joe Thon rocketed a home run off the scoreboard in left-center against rehabber RHP Brad Boxberger.

The Stone Crabs tied the game in the top of the fifth when 2B Andrew Guillotte saw a ground ball kick off his glove at second, bringing 3B Cristian Toribio home.

Dunedin came right back in the bottom of the inning against pseudo starter RHP Benton Moss (L, 4-7), scoring a pair. With two on, none out, RF Josh Almonte bunted Thon and Guillotte over to second and third. Alford then brought in Thon with a sac fly. With two down, DH Richard Urena noticed a shift to pull and pushed a bunt down the third base line, scoring Guillotte to out the Jays up 3-1. Guillotte scored once more on a passed ball in the seventh which provided the final score.

LHP Jose Fernandez (H, 8) and LHP Colton Turner (S, 6) combined for two hitless innings to lock down the win for Dunedin.

Game three of this four game set is Tuesday afternoon at 11 AM. RHP Sean Reid-Foley opposes the knuckleball pitcher RHP Jeff Howell. This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.
