Smith Nearly Complete In Win Over Daytona Cubs Return To Town Below .500  By Brian Chapman
[SARASOTA, FL] The number “.500” was largely on the minds of the Daytona Cubs as they entered Saturday evening’s game. A win would mean going .500 against the Sarasota Reds, going .500 on their eight-game road trip and getting to .500 on the season with a record of 18-18. Sarasota righty Jordan Smith had another number in mind: 9. As in nine innings of work. In the end, neither side reached its goal. Smith was pulled after 8.2 innings of dominance as the Reds beat the Cubs 5-1. |
