After a nice 5-0 Sim opened closed the first half of the season, the Spuds stumbled dreadfully out of the blocks in the second half (recap) getting swept at Cape Fear and dropping the opener of a 4-game series in Atlantic City. Most of the 5 contests were competitive with the Spuds scoring 3.4 per game but giving up an ugly 5.6 per.

Pitcher
P Samir Qasim
38 G, 3-0, 4 SV, 2.98 ERA, 42.1 IP, 2.5 K/BB, 1.30 WHIP, +0.4 WAR
SP Josh Clark booked a beauty of a start against Cape Fear allowing just 2 runs in 7 innings. Reliver Cornelio 'Deathblow' Martínez gave up 1 run in 3 innings before exiting with an oblique strain that will keep him sidelined for a week. Qasim made 2 appearances against Cape Fear striking out 4 in 2.2 innings allowing just 1 hit.

1B Tracy 'Jigga' Allison
89 G, 16 2B, 7 3B, 8 HR, 42 RBI, .231/.282/.375, 55 SB, +0.5 WAR
