April 10, 200917 yr This game was great. I happened to be in Jax on business and was able to attend the game. The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville is a pretty kick ass stadium to watch a game. Tickets were cheap, food was relatively cheap, parking was cheap. Logan's home run was a line drive shot that went easily 400+ feet. That ball just flew out of the park in a hurry. When Logan hits the ball you could just here the difference in the sound of his bat compared to the other players. He also had a triple that was just a shot in the gap. Also, Earnest Graham had troubles in the 1st inning but settled down to pitch 5 scoreless innings after and only give up one hit. Another guy that caught my eye was Scott Cousins. He had three hits that bounced off the outfield wall and all three were singles due to how hard he hit the ball. All in all the AA Marlins looked good and the whole Southern League better be on notice.
