Final: @Huntsville 4, Birmingham 0 Jungmann And Stars Blank Birmingham Huntsville, AL - Taylor Jungmann turned in seven shutout innings as the Huntsville Stars went on to shutout the Birmingham Barons 4-0 Saturday night at Joe Davis Stadium. It was the Stars Southern League best seventh shutout of the season. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when the Stars did all their scoring against Barons starter Myles Jaye (0-6). Kentrail Davis opened up the third with a double. Greg Hopkins put down a sacrifice bunt in front of home plate. The pitcher, Jaye fielded it and his throw to first pulled Christian Marrero off the bag enabling Hopkins to reach. After Nick Shaw chopped one to first base where Marrero threw out Davis at the plate, the Stars set up their scoring opportunity after Josh Prince walked. D'Vontrey Richardson broke up the scoreless game on a two-run single into centerfield giving the Stars a 2-0 lead. Two batters later, Jason Rogers was walked with the bases loaded forcing home a run and giving Rogers his 25th RBI of the season. Shawn Zarraga was the next batter and he produced a sacrifice fly giving the Stars a 4-0 lead. Jungmann improved to 4-4 and pitched seven innings in his second straight outing. He allowed nine hits, however was able to dodge some bullets leaving eight runners on base. Jungmann didn't walk a batter and struck out four. The bullpen combination of Tim Dillard and Kevin Shackelford completed the shutout by throwing scoreless eighth and ninth innings. With the win, the Stars improve to a season high fifteen games above the .500 mark at 29-14. The Barons are now 16-26. The Stars have guaranteed themselves their eighth series victory in the first nine series of the season and lead the Barons 3-0 in their series. Game four is Sunday afternoon as the Stars will send LHP Brent Suter (5-2, 2.30) to the mound. Birmingham will feature LHP Scott Snodgress (1-2, 5.45). The game can be heard with Steve Jarnicki starting at 12:45 PM CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM, and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Never spectacular but frequently solid, Taylor Jungmann has established his business card. 52 hits allowed in 52 innings, 46 K's, 15 BB's. Fans clamoring for transfers at this point don't remember the organization's M.O. -- try and clinch a first-half playoff bid, let the players enjoy the dogpile on the celebratory mound, and then let the shuffle begin. That being said, Jungmann doesn't strike me as a bigtime dogpile guy, so we'll see. Jason Rogers' 25 RBI ties him for 7th in the league. Huntsville Game Log Jungmann can thank Kentrail Davis for preserving the shutout in his final frame -- Birmingham Top of the 7th Miguel Gonzalez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Kentrail Davis. Michael Earley doubles (6) on a fly ball to center fielder D' Vontrey Richardson. Miguel Gonzalez to 3rd. Daniel Wagner flies into a double play, left fielder Kentrail Davis to catcher Shawn Zarraga. Miguel Gonzalez out at home. Jaime Pedroza lines out to second baseman Josh Prince.

Audio via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is with Sounds reliever Jeremy Jeffress, who tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings on Friday night and owns a 3.00 ERA in eight outings since joining the Sounds when the Brewers re-signed him. Jeffress, though he never pitched for the Sounds, spent the first several years of his career with the Brewers organization before being part of the group of players the Brewers sent to Kansas City when they acquired Zack Greinke in December 2010. Jeffress later was dealt to the Blue Jays and has spent the past few years between Triple-A and the major leagues."

Numeric non-fun from Chris -- Wisconsin is 0-5 in games played on Friday this season.

Numeric fun via Steve in Huntsville -- The Stars improved to 7-0 on Friday’s and are now 9-0 in game two’s of their series
