Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU North Division

A's Clip Colfax 3-2
Kenny Metcalf came to the rescue of starter Ernie McCain in the Glasco 3-2 victory over Colfax at Athletics Field. He tossed two innings of hitless ball to nail down the save, his first of the season. McCain (2-0) got credit for the win. He pitched into the seventh, yielding nine hits and both runs. Alex Castille (3-1) caught the loss for the Blasters, although he deserved better. Castille hurled seven innings and allowed only one earned run and left trailing 3-1. Right fielder Jose Valenzuela and second baseman Barry McCord each had two hits and two RBIs for the Athletics.

Glasco (12-6) protected their narrow half-game lead over second place Valmara (12-7). The A's are on top of the RBU North standings, while Colfax (10-9) held on to third place, 2.5 games behind.

Vipers Rout Redhawks
The Valmara Vipers went on a 16-hit rampage and routed the Far Mountain Redhawks 10-3, snapping their three-game winning streak. Todd Turner (3-2) went the distance for the win, scattering 9 hits and striking out 7. First baseman Yank Jankowski ripped a grand slam and drove in 5 runs to spark the Vipers. Shortstop Mike Ellefsen banged out 3 hits in 4 at-bats with two RBIs and two runs scored. Left fielder Louis Sharp also contributed 3 hits. Valmara tied the IPA record with three triples in the game. Belair Beach set the record on May 4. The Redhawks turned three double plays to tie the league record. There were five in the game and this also tied the league mark.

The Vipers (12-7) are in second place in the RBU North and Far Mountain (9-10) is sitting in fourth place.

Elnora Nips Volusia V's
Third baseman Richie Franklin walloped a tie-breaking two-run homer in the eighth inning off Lenny Collins to spark the Elnora All-Stars to 7-5 victory over Volusia. Sean Sykes (3-1) walked away a winner with the help of closer Wally Tidwell, who clamped down on the Vigilantes and retired them in order in the last two frames for his initial save of the season. The All-Stars outhit the V's nine to seven. Franklin, second baseman Gil Foster and catcher Todd Simons all pushed across two runs. Chaco Rivera, second sacker for Volusia, had three RBIs. The losing pitcher was Lenny Collins (1-1).

The Elnora All-Stars (7-12) put an end to their five-game losing streak and pushed Volusia (7-13) into the cellar.
