    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...: The third game of the Mercer Cup series between Blue eld and Princeton was rained out on Thursday. The game will be made up as part of adoubleheader at Bowen Field on Saturday at 5 p.m.

    VS. THE RAYS: The Blue Jays defeated Princeton in seven of 11 games last year to win the Mercer Cup. They took three of four in Princeton from June 30 to July 3 befordropping a July 4 meeting at home, 5-4. Princeton won two of three at Bowen Field at the end of July in a set that included a doubleheader split. So the Mercer Cup was tied 4-with three games to play in Blue eld on August 9-11. The Jays won 6-2, then Deivy Estrada pitched ve shutout innings the next night to win the clincher and keep the Rays froretiring the Cup.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -GABRYSZWSKI: The 19-year-old righty out of Crosby, TX is off to an outstanding start in 2012. He shut out the Twins in Elizabethton for ve innings on Monday, aing only four hits and striking out a season-high four. His 1.89 ERA ranks tenth among pitchers with at least 19 IP and his 0.89 WHIP ranks fourth, all despite a K/9 rate (4.26)the third-lowest in the league. He was taken in the second round of last years draft, splitting time between the Gulf Coast League and Blue eld. After four and one-third scorelinnings in three GCL games, Gabryszwski moved up to the Appy League on August 29, turning in a shutout inning of relief at Danville. He relieved twice in the postseason foJays, allowing two runs in four and two-thirds innings. A graduate of Crosby High School, he had committed to play college ball at Lamar before signing with Toronto.FARIA: Right-hander Jacob Faria goes for Princeton tonight. He allowed one run on two hits in a two-inning start his last time out on Friday in Danville. A tenth-round piclast years draft out of Gahr High School in Cerritos, CA, he spent the 2011 season in the Gulf Coast League, pitching to a 2.87 ERA in 15.2 innings. The La Palma, CA native

    committed to Cal State-Fullerton before signing with the Rays.MERCER CUP: The summer of 2012 will feature another exciting edition of Minor League Baseballs greatest rivalry. The Blue eld Blue Jays and Princeton Rays are separby only 12 miles and for the past 20 seasons these Appalachian League foes have played for the Mercer Cup , a ve-foot trophy that also grants the winner bragging rights for thnext 12 months. The Mercer Cup dates back to 1992, when Princeton was an af liate of the Cincinnati Reds. Reds General Manager Jim Holland came up with the idea to awarthe massive trophy to the winner of the 11-game season series between the Mercer County neighbors. A local trophy maker wanted to get involved with the Princeton team andHolland dreamt up the idea of the Cup and teamed up with then Blue eld GM George McGonagle to make it happen. Of the rst 20 sets, Blue eld has won 11 series and Princhas won eight. The 1994 series ended in a tie, but Blue eld kept the Cup. An interesting wrinkle of the Mercer Cup is that when one city wins three years in a row, that trophy itired for them to keep and a new one is put into circulation. Blue eld retired Cups in 1995 and 2001 and Princeton turned the trick in 2007. In 2011, Princeton was aiming to rethe Cup again after winning in 2009 and 2010. After a 4-4 split of the rst eight games, Blue eld, in their rst season under the Blue Jays umbrella, swept the nal three gametake back the Cup. July 17 marks the continuation of the rivalry, which has continued through af liation changes, which include Princetons switch from the Reds to the Devil Rin 1997 and Blue elds change from the Orioles to the Blue Jays in 2011. Whether its at Bowen Field in Blue eld or up Route 19 at Hunnicutt Field in Princeton, this Mercer Cbattle for bragging rights transcends the Appy League season and gives this community a unique baseball tradition.

    TRADING PLACES: The Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros made a ten-player trade on Friday, one of whom was a Blue eld Blue Jay. Right-hander Joe Musgrove, asupplemental rst-round pick in 2011 who allowed one run on ve hits in eight innings of work for the Baby Jays, was included in the deal. Toronto acquired RHP Brandon LyLHP J.A. Happ and RHP David Carpenter. Going to Houston along with Musgrove are RHP Francisco Cordero, OF Ben Francisco, RHP Asher Wojciechowski, 2011 Blue eldDavid Rollins, C Carlos Perez and a player to be named later.

    YOU SHALL NOT PASS: The Blue Jays have been the best team in the Appy League at throwing out potential base stealers. The trio of Santiago Nessy, Seth Conner andHector Alvarez has gunned down 15 out of 33 runners (45.5 %) to lead the circuit.

    TURNING A CORNER: First baseman Art Charles was mired in a 1-for-28 slump as his batting average sank from .275 to .176, but he has started hitting again over his lthree games. Starting with a rout in Elizabethton on Monday and through the rst two Mercer Cup games, he is 5-for-8 with a homer, a triple, three RBIs, four runs and ve walCharles increased his league-leading walk total to 29 (six ahead of second place) and is now back amoung the league leaders in on base percentage as his .450 mark ranks third
