[leejay56]

After an incredible August 21-8 the Stars start cold in September going 8-9 and now its a shot at Brooklyn Robins for the wild card slot...The Robins have been hot winning 8 of 10 and the Stars need to win almost every game to get that wild card slot...Its going to be close..

Catcher Jason Dunn is having another solid year for the Stars...Dunn is hitting .283 35 homers and 87 Rbi's..Dunn is carrying the Stars offense as he leads in all three categories...

Starting Pitcher Tony Suárez is one win away from getting his 20th win of the season...Suarez is 19-8 2.59 ERA in 233 innings this season...Suarez is having his best season since 2019 when he went 15-9 3.30 era...Suarez is only 25 and hopefully more great seasons for the Stars....

1B Gary Knowles was rewarded with the Johnson League Player of the Week honors. The scrappy Valencia Stars first baseman hit .458 while collecting 11 hits in 24 at-bats, 3 home runs and 10 RBIs.
