The Devil Rays made quite an impression on the Blue Jays tonight, possibly making a statement to the west. I know it's early, but it's fun to talk about. Vero Beach jumped all over Kenny Rodriquez, the starter for Dunedin with 6 runs in the second inning and 3 more in the third.

Home runs by both Matt Fields and Ryan Royster is something that fans of the Columbus Catfish were used to last year and the hope is that the home run power from 2007 transfers here in Vero Beach.

Fields hit the longest ball I have seen here at Holman stadium. A shot that literally cleared the scoreboard in left center field. Royster followed one inning later with his third of the season, in which he had not cleared the fences since the second game of the year. Fields is now tied for the FSL home run lead with 6.

Oh by the way, Jeremy Hellickson pitched another quality outing tonight. Six innings along with 5 strikeouts bringing his total to 47 on the season, which is good for a first place tie in the FSL.

Same two teams tomorrow afternoon in Vero Beach. 12:45 Bud Light pre-game show.
