Jake Blackwood, Kansas City T-Bones

Congratulations to Kansas City T-Bone and former Goldeye Jake Blackwood, who recorded his 1,000th career hit with an RBI single tonight. The T-Bones took both games in their double header with Joplin, winning 5-3 and 7-3, and seem to have tightened their stranglehold on the wildcard spot.
