Loose Gravel: The JackHammers made a roster move before the game, agreeing to terms with RHP Brian Reith. The Fort Wayne, IN native spent parts of three seasons with the Cincinnati Reds (2001, 2003-2004) and most recently has pitched in both independent baseball and Mexico. To make room for him on the active roster, Joliet released IF/OF Gary Harris.

 

Reith started the season with Quintana Roo of the Mexican League and appeared in six games. He spent the last two seasons with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League, including a 5-4 record with a 3.94 ERA in 41 appearances in 2008.

 

Working primarily out of the bullpen in his time in the Major Leagues, Reith has a 4-12 lifetime record with a 5.92 career ERA. In 2003, Reith logged his best year with a 2-3 record and a 4.11 ERA.
