    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:The Blueeld Blue Jays ended the 2012 home slate on a high note. Alonzo Gonzalez pitched six shutout innings for the second straight start andBrandon Dorsett nished the three-hitter as the Baby Jays beat the Kingsport Mets 7-0 on Saturday in the nal game of the season at Bowen Field. The two newest Blue Jayskeyed a rst-inning rally that gave Blueeld the lead for good. Second baseman Justin Atkinson and right elder Dalton Pompey joined the Blue Jays from Florida. Atkinson is ufrom the Gulf Coast League. Pompey started the season in Vancouver, but missed two months with a wrist injury and saw his rst action tonight. Atkinsons two-out double in thbottom of the rst brought home Jorge Vega-Rosado with the games rst run. Two batters later, Pompey singled in Atkinson for a 2-0 lead and also stole a base. That would bethe scoring Gonzalez (W, 2-0) needed. The lefty pitched six shutout innings of two-hit ball in a win over Pulaski in his Blueeld debut on Monday. He followed that up with six mzeroes and allowed only one hit, walking one and striking out four. Gonzalez retired the rst ten batters he faced and 18 of 20 overall. Nico Taylor provided more offense in the inning with a two-run double off of starter John Gant (L, 3-3). The Jays added single tallies in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings on an Anthony Chavez elding error, an EmiliGuerrero sacrice y and Jordan Leylands RBI groundout. Atkinson, Taylor, Vega-Rosado and D.J. Davis led Blueelds 12-hit attack with two apiece. Guerrero was the only Jastarter without a hit, but he did contribute the RBI and a stolen base. Brandon Dorsett (S, 4) picked up the game in the seventh inning and posted three scoreless frames to nisthe Jays sixth shutout of the season. Blueeld has been involved in 11 shutouts this season, tied with Greeneville for the most in the league.

    VS. THE ASTROS:Blueeld took two of three from the Astros at Bowen Field to close the month of July. The Astros won the opener 8-7 on a ninth-inning wild pitch. The Jwon the next game 8-3 before winning 5-1 behind Seth Conners four RBIs and Kevin Comers pitching. The Blue Jays and Astros split their six-game season series in 2011, wthe road team taking two out of three twice. In Blueeld on August 3, the Jays scored two in the ninth to force extra innings, but Chase Davidsons 11th-inning single won it forGreeneville. Blueeld won the middle game before the Astros won the rubber game. In Greeneville from August 22-24, the two teams split the rst two contests and the Jays wthe third game to win the series and earn a season split.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -

    ESTRADA:A native of Valencia, Venezuela, lefty Deivy Estrada goes for the Jays to open the nal series of the season. He last pitched on Tuesday against Pulaski, allowfour runs and getting knocked out in the fourth inning. He posted a 2.25 ERA in the GCL in 2011, but he had an ERA of 6.94 in Blueeld upon his promotion. He did contribute thclinching victory in the Mercer Cup last year, turning in ve shutout innings on August 10. He allowed only four hits, striking out six without walking a man. He took a tough lossthe nal game of the Appy League Championship Series when he gave up one earned run in ve innings, but was charged with the defeat. He spent the 2010 season in the GulCoast League and was in the Dominican Summer League in 2009 when he Kd more than one batter per inning (48 in 44 IP).

    TIBURCIO:Six-foot-three Dominican right-hander Frederick Tiburcio faces Blueeld for the rst time this season. He allowed four runs in four innings in a no decision atElizabethton on Monday. He dealt seven shutout innings of four-hit ball with seven strikeouts in a win over Bristol in the start before that on August 14. The 21-year-old was sigby Houston in 2008 and after two seasons in the Dominican Summer League, he went to the Gulf Coast League last season and went 3-5 with a 4.47 ERA in 54.1 innings.

    CHECKING IN ON THE PENNANT RACES:All four Appalachian League playoff spots and seedings could be locked down tonight. The Burlington Royals are postsson-bound and can clinch the East Division with a win at Bristol or a Danville loss at Johnson City. The Braves will make the playoffs as well and will likely be the East wild cardface the West Division champion Elizabethton Twins in the rst round. The West wild card will either be Johnson City or Greeneville. The Blue Jays can play spoiler and eliminatAstros and put Johnson City in the playoffs with a win tonight.

    CRAZY EIGHT:Blueeld OF Nico Taylor ran up his second eight-game hitting streak of the season with two more hits last night. The McKinney, Texas native also had an egamer from June 29 to July 7. This streak began with two hits in a twinbill opener at Danville last Sunday and he is 12-for-29 (.414) during the run, raising his average to .281.

    QUICKLY MAKING AN IMPACT:Two new players joined the Blue Jays yesterday and played a big role in the win. Second baseman Justin Atkinson went 2-for-5 wian RBI double and two runs scored in the cleanup spot. Outelder Dalton Pompey hit an RBI single and stole a base in the rst inning. Pompey was hitting .294 with a .442 OBPShort Season-A Vancouver before a broken hamate bone in his left wrist put him on the DL only 11 games into the season. The Mississauga, Ontario native was a 16th-round pin 2010 and split last season between the GCL and Blueeld. He hit .357 and scored four runs in ve Appy League playoff games last year. Atkinson, also Canadian, moved up fthe GCL after hitting .259 in 52 games this season. Hailing from Surrey, British Columbia, Atkinson was taken in the 26th round of last years draft. He hit .279 in 12 games for GCL Jays in 2012 in his rst professional action.

    APPY LEAGUE HONOR:Blueeld right-hander Jeremy Gabryszwski was named to the 2012 Appalachian League All-Star Team, which was voted on by opposing manaers, executives and media and announced on Wednesday. The honor is more impressive considering there are only three pitchers on the squad. The 19-year-old was the leagu

    choice for right-handed starter and Princetons Blake Snell was the teams lefty starter. Jeremy is 3-0 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 games (ninestarts). Hes only allowed 44 hits in 46 innings of work. Gabby is just short of the league qualier, but his 2.35 ERA would lead the leagueis fourth among Appy Leaguers with at least 45 IP. The Crosby, Texas native has the third-lowest WHIP (1.04) despite striking out only 4.3 bters per nine innings (second-lowest among 40 IP pitchers). That success is due to his ability to pound the strike zone, as hes only walked batters in 46 innings (0.78 BB/9). That includes a streak from July 14 to August 12 in which he went 24.2 innings without issuing a free pas
