2011 GAMEDAY NEWS AND NOTES Newly Acquainted: Tonight marks the first all-time meeting
between the Will County CrackerJacks and the Southland Vikings. The ‘Jacks (2-0) hold a one-game lead over the Vikings (2-2) in the Midwest Collegiate standings.
TaylorMade: McDonough, Ga., native Stephen Taylor has been brilliant for the ‘Jacks thus far in 2011. In Wednesday’s (June 8) win over Rockford, Taylor tossed eight innings of scoreless, two-hit baseball. He struck out nine batters and walked just two. For the season, Taylor is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA. He has allowed just three hits in 13 innings and has held his opponents to a .075 batting average.
Washed Away: All of yesterday’s MCL games were postponed
due to the inclement weather experienced on Wednesday night. The storms left soggy and unplayable fields and make-up dates have yet to be announced. The ‘Jacks were scheduled to play the Chicago Zephyrs and the Vikings were to play the Foresters.
‘Jacks on the Air: Game one of tomorrow’s doubleheader will
be broadcast both on the CrackerJacks Radio Network (on ustream.tv) and on Kankakee’s FM 105.5 The Kat. The ballgame marks the home opener for the ‘Jacks at Wayne King, Jr. Field on the campus of Joliet Junior College.
Looking Ahead: Because of the rainout yesterday, the Crack-
erJacks will now play 13 straight Midwest Collegiate League games instead of 15, beginning tonight against the Vikings. Their next scheduled off-day won’t be until June 22 after a June 21 non-league game against the Des Plaines Patriots.
