Anthony Hatch, Brian Pettway, Sean Shoffit, Cory Patton and Wayne Lydon had some support from Bauxites.
Three wins in four games. Dustin McGowan pitched well for the Chiefs and was supported by lots of runs. Chip Cannon and David Smith drove in four runs each as the Fisher Cats won, Cannon had two dingers. Both Dunedin and Lansing have fallen out of first place in their divisions as the first half of the season is coming close to its end. AJ Burnett starts tonight for the Chiefs.
Last time we checked in with Dunedin they had a 16-14 record and sat in third place of the West Division of the Florida State League. In May they raised their team OPS from .724 to .812, a nice rise of 88 points. Meanwhile, they held opposing batters to a .676 OPS, a drop of 70 points from April’s .746. It’s more important to the Blue Jays that their prospects seemed to be having better months in April, but it’s still nice to see the team’s record jump to 34-25 and for Dunedin to have moved into a tie for first place with Fort Myers.
