August 7, 2004: Huntsville 5, CAROLINA 0

Zebulon, NC - Jamie Gann amassed three hits, including a two-run triple in the first inning, as Huntsville blanked Carolina for the second straight game 5-0 before 5,264 fans at Five County Stadium on Saturday night.

Huntsville (22-18) scored four times with two outs in the first inning, then knocked out Carolina (17-23) starter Peter Bauer (L, 5-9, 1.2ip, 5h, 5r, 5er, 3w, 3k) in the second. Bauer walked consecutive batters in the first before striking out Brad Nelson. Gann then whipped an opposite-line two-run triple. Chris Barnwell singled home Gann on the next pitch, then came home on a base hit by Ozzie Chavez.

Bauer, whose 1 2/3 inning start was his shortest of the season, made just 43 pitches.

Carolina was no-hit two outs into the eighth inning by Stars starter Glenn Woolard and Brian Adams until Rex Rundgren (1-1) stroked a line single to left in his first at-bat of the game. The Mudcats managed four hits within the final two innings.

Brian Strelitz (ND, 4.1ip, 2h, 0r, 0w, 2k) worked 4 1/3 innings in long relief, moving the game to Jason Pearson (ND, 1ip, 2h, 0r, 0w, 1k) and Ryan Baker (ND, 2ip, 1h, 0r, 0w, 2k) who combined to pitch the final three innings of the game.

Carolina completes its eight-game homestand Sunday at 4:00 PM ET with Trevor Hutchinson (7-6, 4,95) starting against Huntsville lefty Matt Ford (1-4, 4.45).
