    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:Jeremy Gabryszwski and Grifn Murphy dominated on the hill and Mother Nature nished the job. The Blueeld Blue Jays shut down the PrinceRays 2-0 at Hunnicutt Field in Princeton to take a 2-1 lead in the Mercer Cup. Gabryszwskis ve shutout innings were followed by Murphys three zeroes before rain ended thegame in the bottom of the ninth. The Rays could not even muster a threat against Blueeld pitching. Gabryszwski (W, 1-0) allowed a leadoff double in the rst inning and a two-double in the fourth, but those were the only times Princeton had a runner in scoring position against the righty. He allowed four hits and struck out two without walking a batterrecording his rst win of the season, lowering his ERA to 1.50. Murphy (S, 1) picked up right where Gabryszwski left off and set down nine of the ten men he faced to get througthe eighth. He struck out three and was credited with the save. Blueeld worked their way onto the scoreboard quickly in the top of the rst against starter Jacob Faria. Alex Azled off the game with an ineld single and Dwight Smith singled two batters later. Art Charles walked to ll the bases before Faria uncorked a wild pitch to plate Azor. Faria (L, 1lasted only one inning before being replaced by Kevin Brandt. Brandt struck out nine in four shutout innings and William Gabay and Daniel Bream kept it a 1-0 game until the niThe Jays notched an insurance run against Joan Guerrero in the nal inning. Jacob Anderson doubled to start the frame for his third hit of the game. Azor bunted him over to thiand then, when catcher Oscar Hernandezs pickoff throw to third was errant, Anderson scored. In between the top and bottom of the ninth, the skies opened up and a torrentialdownpour came down on the Princeton eld. After a delay, the eld was so drenched that the game was called.

    VS. THE RAYS:The Blue Jays defeated Princeton in seven of 11 games last year to win the Mercer Cup. They took three of four in Princeton from June 30 to July 3 beforedropping a July 4 meeting at home, 5-4. Princeton won two of three at Bowen Field at the end of July in a set that included a doubleheader split. So the Mercer Cup was tied 4-with three games to play in Blueeld on August 9-11. The Jays won 6-2, then Deivy Estrada pitched ve shutout innings the next night to win the clincher and keep the Rays froretiring the Cup.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -

    JENSEN: Right-hander Tucker Jensen looks to rebound from a rough second inning in Elizabethton on Monday. He pitched a perfect rst, third and fourth inning, but in tsecond frame, he allowed seven runs, including a Max Kepler grand slam, in an 8-0 loss. The Ormond Beach, FL native has a 1.72 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, both are ninth among ALeague pitchers with at least 15 IP. Last year, he allowed 14 earned runs in 11.1 innings in four starts for Blueeld. He excelled in eight Gulf Coast League starts to begin his capitching to a 1.77 ERA with an 8.9 K/9 rate to earn a one-game call-up to low-A Lansing. Between three levels he struck out 56 batters in 57 innings of work. A decorated hurleEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL, Tucker was named Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2011, also earning NAIA Second-Team All-America honorThe 22-year-old is the grandson of 1958 American League MVP Jackie Jensen.

    suero: Dominican Southpaw Bruedlin Suero is coming off his best outing of 2012. He held the Royals to one one on ve hits in a ve-inning victory on Sunday. He pitchedan 8.66 ERA through his rst ve games. The 22-year-old from Santo Domingo was signed by the Rays in 2008 and spent last year in the GCL, registering a 2.63 ERA. In two-pseasons in the DSL from 2009-11, he put up a 3.13 ERA.

    ESTRADA: Valencia, Venezuela native Deivy Estrada has lowered his ERA in each of his ve outings since his 2012 debut. He allowed ve runs, only one earned, in threand two-thirds innings in Mondays twinbill nale in Elizabethton. The southpaw has held opponents to one earned run or none in his last four starts. Estrada potsed a 2.25 ERAthe GCL in 2011, but he had an ERA of 6.94 in Blueeld upon his promotion. He did contribute the clinching victory in the Mercer Cup last year, turning in ve shutout innings onAugust 10. He allowed only four hits, striking out six without walking a man. He took a tough loss in the nal game of the Appy League Championship Series when he gave up oearned run in ve innings, but he took the defeat. He spent the 2010 season in the GCL and was in the DSL in 2009 when he Kd more than one batter per inning (48 in 44 IP).

    snell: 19-year-old left-hander Blake Snell has been perhaps the Appalachian Leagues best pitcher in 2012. He leads the circuit with a miniscule 0.99 ERA and his 0.91WHIP ranks fourth. As opponents have only hit .154 against him, he is the hardest pitcher to get a hit off of in the loop. In 27.1 innings he has struck out 30 batters, six off theleague lead. With eight and two-thirds shutout innings of one-hit ball and 13 strikeouts over his rst two games in 2012, he earned Appy League Pitcher of the Week honors. Hewas home-schooled until his senior year at Shorewood High School in Washington, when he posted a 1.00 ERA and 118 Ks in 56 innings. That made him Tampa Bays supplemtal rst-round pick in 2011, 52nd overall and one ahead of Blueeld CF Dwight Smith Jr. He went 1-2 with a 3.08 ERA in 26.1 innings in the Gulf Coast League last year.
