The Charlotte Stone Crabs pounded out 14 hits in a 12-2 whipping of the Dunedin Blue Jays on Tuesday (May 24) at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
Asher Wojciechowski, the fourth highest pitching prospect in the Toronto Blue Jays organization, lasted only four and two thirds innings, giving up seven runs on 10 hits.
The usually reliable Jays bull pen was equally as bad, giving up another five runs including a grand slam to the Stone Crabs' Jake Jefferies off of Chris Malone.

The Stone Crabs shortstop Hak-Ju Lee continues to make heads shake. The 20-year-old from South Korea went 3-4 with a walk and a hit by pitch. The Tampa Rays acquired Lee in an off-season trade that sent Matt Garza to the Cubs. Lee is batting a league-leading .374.
The Jays managed only six hits on the night. Stone Crabs starter Kyle Lobstein allowed all six hits and gave up the two runs in the fifth inning. These were the first two runs Lobstein had given up in his last 12 innings. The big lefty was last weeks recipient of the Florida State League pitcher of the week.

The Blue Jays have lost three in a row since they returned from their road trip with a seven-game winning streak.
The bats have sputtered in the series with Charlotte. Scoring just five runs in the first three games. Brad Glenn has been held hit-less in the last two games and the loss of catcher A.J. Jimenez to a concussion has hindered the team.
The D-Jays will try to get back on the winning track tonight (May 25) at 7 p.m.
