6 groundouts versus 0 flyouts for Norris as well. The promotion to AA must be imminent.

Dunedin have a 3.5 game lead with eight games left in the first half. Dunedin play the second place team, the Lakeland Tigers, today and tomorrow. A sweep by Dunedin or even a split would leave Dunedin in good shape.
