Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU North Division

FM Slips by Vipers in Extra Innings
It was a battle royale as Far Mountain and Valmara seesawed back and forth until the Redhawks were finally victorious in the tenth inning 9-8. CF Hawk Gallagher plated RF Gerald Davis from second with an RBI single to decide it. Vincent Moore picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief, Andre Trepagnier(1-1) was stuck with the loss.

Late Scores Win It for V's
The Volusia Vigilantes came from a 3-0 deficit over the last three innings to edge Elnora 4-3. SS Scooter Perez blasted a game-winning double in the last of the ninth to win it. Reliever Ricky Moreno (1-0) collected the victory with two scoreless innings, while Wally Tidwell (0-1) blew a save and was tagged with the loss. The V's won despite being outhit 14 to 7.

It was the All-Stars (6-11) fourth defeat in a row. Elnora is in fifth place in the RBU North. Volusia (6-12) is in last place, 6 games behind the division-leading Glasco Athletics (11-5).

RBU South Division

Hutchinson Fires 5-Hitter at Rattlers
Lefthander Buddy Hutchinson (2-2) fashioned a 5-1 victory over first place Sugar Valley at Riverside Stadium in Forest City. He struck out six, walked none and limited the Rattlers to just five hits. LF Chuck Hill and 2B Joe Wolf poled homers. Hill's was a 3-run shot and Wolf's a solo job. The Lumberjacks jumped on Tony Michelet (1-2) for four runs in the third inning to pin the loss on him.

Forest City (8-9) sits in fifth place, while Sugar Valley (10-7) is still in the top spot in the RBU South Division. Second place Marston (9-8) and Belair Beach (9-8) were not scheduled today.

Diamonds Shine in 8-7 Win over Westerners
Claxton turned an easy win into a tough one as they just barely hung on to beat Waleska 8-7. Skipper Stacy Engel almost went too long with his starter Tetsunori Nagashima. The Diamonds took an 8-2 lead into the ninth and almost didn't survive the 5-run uprising. Nakashima (4-1) allowed 8 hits and 7 runs with six strikeouts and two walks for his 4th win of the year. With the tying run on third, Alex Vanzetti came in from the bullpen and got the last out for his first save.
RF Dixie Baker led the Claxton charge with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. He was a perfect 4-for-4 with two homers and a double. 3B Keith Olsen added two hits and two RBIs, including a roundtripper. RF Big Hoss Burkhalter and CF Rick Vaughn both cracked home runs for the Westerners.

The Diamonds are 7-10 and in last place in the RBU South, 3 games out of first place. Fifth place Waleska dropped to 8-9 and two games behind Sugar Valley (10-7).

TBU East Division

Ozarka Skins the Hellcats 3-0
Naturals manager Joe Mack Carney promoted Yasuyuki Nakagawa to the starting rotation and it immediately paid diviidends -- The chubby righthander shut out Hartsdale 3-0 on just three hits for their fourth straight victory. The crafty Nakagawa (3-0) only fanned one and walked three as he confused the Hellcats throughout the game. Losing pitcher Danny Griffin (2-3) only made one mistake and it cost him the game -- he served up a three-run homer to 3B Doug Cunningham in the fifth inning. It was Cunningham's 7th roundtripper.

Ozarka (10-7) gained a half-game on the idle Cape Coral Hurricanes (11-6), who are in first place in the TBU East. The Naturals trail them by one game. Hartsdale (9-7) is in the third spot in the standings, 1.5 games off the pace.

SF Take Ginza in 10 Innings 3-2
In a very well-pitched game South Fork got the best of Ginza 3-2 in ten innings and ended a four-game losing streak. However, the Ninjas lost it because of two walks, a hitsbatsman and a bunt single. Reliever Alex Sasek forced in the winning run when he walked 3B Glenn Holliday with the bases loaded. He also gave up a bunt single to fill the bases, just prior to the walk. Up until the last inning the pitching had been masterful. Stallion closer Glenn Turnbull (3-0) got the win with a 1-2-3 inning, while Ninja starter Kazuhiro Nakayama (1-3) was the loser, Nakayama allowed three runs on nine hits, fanned three and walked just one, but wildness in the tenth was his downfall. Ken Olson started for South Fork and went seven strong innings, gave up only two runs and six hits. Ken Conner worked a scoreless eighth and ninth and then yielded the mound to Turnbull.

It was South Fork's sixth win in eighteen games and Ginza's ninth loss. The Ninjas have won eight times.

TBU West Division

Lynx Nose Out Bucs
Dominic Valmont's sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth gave first place La Claire a hard-earned 4-3 decision over last place Bay St. Clair. The winning pitcher was Jerry Smith (4-0), who copped his 4th win of the season. Smith fired eight solid innings, yielded eight hits and three runs. The Lynx's went to their fine closer Monoto Kishata to get the last three outs. It was his fourth save, but the Buccaneers mounted a threat and had the tying and winning runs on base, before he closed it out. Both clubs had ten hits in the game. La Claire's left fielder Rich Hart boomed his 7th homer in the fourth frame putting the Lynx up 3-1. Bay St. Clair knotted it up with runs in the seventh and eighth. 2B Tony Mann and PH Stan Denton drove in the runs. Reliever Ben Crowley (1-1) pitched the ninth and caught the loss.

La Claire (13-5) has the best record in the IPA and is the top team in the TBU West. The Buccaneers (5-12) have lost their last three and are in last place.

Viks Rally Late, Top Frogs in 11
Bayview's Glenn Burns doubled home the go-ahead run in the eleventh to beat the Fairfax Frogs 5-4. Strong relief pitching save the day for the Vikings. Four pitchers combined to hold the Frogs scoreless the last three innings. Adrian Strom (2-1), normally a starter, was pressed into service by manager Walter Johanssen and notched the win. Takehide Takahashi (1-1) not only blew a save, but he got stuck with the loss, too. He gave up three runs in three innings and failed to hold a 4-2 lead in the ninth. Leading the Bayview 13-hit attack were shortstop Shorty Richards with 3-for-5 and two RBIs and first baseman Dwayne Coleman with two RBIs.

Fairfax slipped into a second place tie with the Arlon Champions, both are 9-8 this season and trail the TBU West leader La Claire by 3.5 games. Bayview is in third, 4 games off the pace.

Arlon and Blue Lake took the day off. The Blue Sox (7-10) are in fifth place and are 5.5 games in back of La Claire.
