Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU South Division

Diamonds Nakashima Stops Rattlers
Tetsunori Nakashima (3-1) was in top form as the Colfax righthander checked first place Sugar Valley 3-2 on a four-hitter. In a fine outing he had 9 strikeouts and walked only 1. Ricky Fox (1-1) got nicked with the loss, allowing 3 runs and 10 hits in just 6 innings. LF Juan Barajas, SS Bobby Ritter and 3B Keith Olsen had two hits apiece to pace the Diamonds. 3B Jorge Vargas had his 3rd roundtripper of the year to lead the Rattlers.

Sugar Valley (8-5) retains the top position in the RBU South, while Colfax (5-8) is still last. The Diamonds are deadlocked with Belair Beach (5-8).

Marston Blanks FC 5-0
Nick Pace didn't give Forest City much to hit today at Legends Field in Marston. The Nine's wild and wooly righthander only allowed 2 hits in eight innings and blanked the Lumberjacks 5-0 with the help of reliever Kenny Bagby, who tossed a scoreless ninth. Pace (2-2) continued to be plagued by control problems as he walked 9 batters, but he is proving to be tough to hit. His manager, Johnny Walters, said Pace is trying to be too fine with his pitches. He said his stuff is good enough to get people out. He just needs to throw more strikes. Forest City's tough lefty Buddy Hutchinson (1-2) was the loser, yielding all 5 runs on 10 hits. A 4-run eight knocked him out of the box.

Marston was led at bat by 1B Chuck Barrett, who belted 2 hits in 4 tries and drove in 3 runs and C Eddie Allen, who contributed a two-run homer.
The Nine (8-6) crept to withing a half-game of the top spot in the RBU South Division with the win, while fourth place Forest City (6-7) fell below .500.

Westerners Win 4th Straight
Waleska is on a roll. The Westerners just won their fourth staight game to move into a tie for second place in the RBU South. 24-year-old Gary Hill (1-0) turned in a good performance to beat Belair Beach 4-2 at Westerner Field. Hill stayed around until two outs in the eighth. Up to then he had quelled the Sunbirds on 6 hits and had a 3-2 lead. Buddy Kennedy got the save by getting the last five outs. Waleska beat a tough customer in Carl Thompson (2-2), who was tagged for 3 runs in the second, but then put the Westerners down in the next 4 frames with no runs. Thompson allowed 4 hits and 3 runs in 6 innings. C Jordy Hill batted in one run for Waleska and Gary Hill doubled in two more in the second inning. RF Nicky Swift led Belair Beach at bat with a 2-run home run, his 5th this year.

Waleska (8-6) is now tied for second place with Marston (8-6), just a half-game back of first place Sugar Valley. Belair Beach (5-8) tumbled into a last place tie with the Claxton Diamonds (5-8). It was the Sunbirds fifth consecutive defeat.
