A+:  Charlotte Stone Crabs - 6, Jupiter - 0

Darin Downs pitched eight innings, gave up no runs, struck out six, walked none, and only gave up four hits. 24-years old, Downs was traded to the Rays last July after being a fifth-round pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2003. Emeel Salem went 2-5 as the table setter, and 10th-round 2008 selection Matthew Hall went 1-5 with a homer and is currently hitting .259/.333/.407, which isn't bad for a shortstop in his first cup of pro ball.
