East Division

Hellcats Blow Past Hurricanes
Hartsdale powered their way past Cape Coral 8-3, rapping out 11 hits, 6 doubles and a 3-run homer by shortstop Francisco Abreu, his second of the season. The Hellcats also got good efforts from starter Jim Sears and closer Phil Reed. Sears registered the win and gave up 3 runs, only one earned, and 8 hits in 7 innings. Reed finished the game with 2 scoreless frames for the save. Loser Doug Lyons had a rocky outing and was belted for 6 runs in just 3 innings.

Ninth-Inning Rally Wins It for Luxora
South Fork fell apart late and were beaten 7-6 by Luxora on a bases-loaded double by left fielder Pedro Vizquel in the last of the ninth. The Zorros rallied from a 5-0 deficit with 3 runs in the eighth and 4 in the ninth. Starters Booger Burchfield and Fernando Fernandes dueled for the first seven frames with Fernandes and the Stallions holding the edge 1-0. But all of that unraveled in the last two innings. Luxora closer Roberto Martinez got the win, but gave up a run in the top of the ninth. The defeat went to Billy Joe Gordon.
The Zorros were sparked by Vizquel, who had 3 hits and 4 RBIs, while Glenn Holliday paced South Fork with 3 hits and 3 runs scored and Carter Mitchell knocked in 3.
Luxora's season record is 2-1, while South Fork is now 1-2.

Ginza Gets by Ozarka
The Ninjas won their first game of the year and gave the Naturals their first loss after two wins. Reliever Cody Moore put a stop to Ozarka in the ninth and nailed down Ginza's 6-4 triumph. Moore got the last two batters to put a quick end to a mild uprising. It was his first save this season. Winning pitcher Kojiro Matsumoto pitched a fine game for the Ninjas and gave up only 1 earned run in 7 innings, 3 in all. He outpitched Louie Ray, who yielded 3 runs and 6 hits in his 6 innings.
Kenshin Yamamoto and Earl Conley paced the winners, each with a home run and 2 runs batted in .

West Division

La Claire Crushes Blue Lake
Fine pitching and solid bats led La Claire to an easy victory 9-2 over the Blue Lake Blue Sox at Capitol Park Stadium. Three hurlers combined to beat the Blue Sox, holding them to 6 hits. Starter Jerry Smith got credit for the win, tossing 6 innings and surrendered 2 runs and 4 hits. Relievers Tony Nygaard and Andy Murray finished out the game and allowed the other two hits.
Shortstop Dirk Lindahl and left fielder Rich Hart of the Lynx both slugged homers and drove in 3 and 2 runs respectively.
Pete Henry absorbed the defeat, permitting 5 runs in 6 innings, although only 2 were earned.
It was La Claire's second victory in a row after losing the season opener to Blue Lake.

Bucs Batter Frogs
Bay St. Clair combined an 18-hit barrage and good pitching by Gary Robinson to easily beat Fairfax 9-3 at the Frog Pond. Charlie Moon, Tony Mann and Jake Singleton each banged out 3 hits for the Bucs. Robinson permitted 13 hits, but walked none and fanned 7 in the win. The loss was pinned on Johnny Schuessler, who exited after 6 innings and yielded 5 runs and 9 hits. Frogs first sacker Stan Cobb had a perfect 5-for-5 day, including a homer and a double, but it wasn't enough.
Bay St. Clair broke into the victory column for the first time this year after dropping the first two games of the series to Fairfax.

Champs Slip by Viks, 8-7
Kris Gervais' 2-run single in the seventh gave Arlon a tight 8-7 victory over Bayview. Gervais, Jerry Keller and reliever Jeff Nieman led the Champions. Keller hammered his 3rd roundtripper and drove in 3 runs, while Nieman hurled a splendid 4 innings and allowed only one hit and no runs. Nieman garnered his first win this year. Manny Tettelbach was battered for 3 runs in the seventh and was charged with the defeat.
