Dodgers Need Stronger Scoring Punch To Move Up
The Thomasville Dodgers sit fourth in the Georgia-Florida League with a near .500 record as they struggle to produce runs. Through May 19 to June 5 they scored 274 runs while opponents tallied 280, and in 18 games they had only three with six or more runs. Pat Salerno leads with a .368 average and 15 RBIs in 20 games, while most regulars show modest RBI totals and batting averages. The article notes spotty infield defense and reliance on pitching to win while clutch hitting lags, urging a stronger offensive push to maintain or improve position.
