RBU South Division

Lumberjacks Cut Down Sugar Valley
Forest City pounded Sugar Valley 9-5 at Riverside Stadium. Leading the hit barrage was second sacker Jesse Wolf with six RBIs and three hits, including a pair of roundtrippers. Wolf has hit 6 this year. Also contributing to the rout was center fielder Ryan Morse with three hits and four runs scored and left fielder Chuck Hill with three hits. Catcher Paul Bailey clouted a three-run homer for the Rattlers.
Gene Stuart (2-1) tossed a complete game, but it was rough going for the first five innings. He surrendered five runs in five innings, but settled down and blanked Sugar Valley the rest of the game. Overall Stuart permitted nine hits, fanned five and walked only one. Phil Howard (1-1) was the loser. The Lumberjacks got rid of him with a five-run first.

Forest City and Sugar Valley have identical 10-9 records. They are in a four-way deadlock for first place in the RBU South with Marston (10-9) and Belair Beach (10-9) with Waleska (11-10) only two percentage points behind.

Sunbirds Takes 10-Inning Thriller from Marston
It was the pitchers time to shine at Bayside Park in Belair Beach in the Sunbirds 1-0 ten-inning victory over Marston. Belair Beach only had 6 hits, while Marston only got 5. The game was finally decided when right fielder Matty McDermott worked a walk off losing pitcher Milt Wilson (0-2) with two away in the bottom of the tenth. McDermott then stole second base and came around to score the winning run on a single by left fielder Nicky Swift. Closer Lou Zanelli (2-0) gained the win with a scoreless inning. Sunbird starter Troy Wilson fired nine excellent innings, allowing only 5 hits, while striking out 6 and walking one. He was matched by Marston's Bob Lowe, Kenny Bagby and Phil Azard. Lowe went out with an injury in the fifth. He will be out eight weeks with ligament damage. That's a big loss for manager Johnny Walters and the Marston Nine. Bagby and Azard hurled hitless ball through the ninth.

Lowe is 1-2 with a 3.27 ERA in four starts this season. He has also relieved twice.

Belair Beach's win made it a four-way tie for the top spot in the crowded RBU South race. The Sunbirds, Marston, Sugar Valley and Forest City all have 10-9 records.

Waleska Wallops Claxton
Waleska came on strong in the late innings to whip the Claxton Diamonds 7-3. Trailing 3-1 going into the seventh frame, the Westerners scored 6 times in the last three innings to move into a virtual five-way tie for the top spot in the RBU South Division. Smokey Joe Carter (3-3) had a solid outing. He fanned four, walked none and scattered 9 hits. Pinchhitter Big Hoss Burkhalter evened the score at 3-all with a seventh inning single. First baseman Freddie Shelton moved Waleksa ahead 4-3 with a double in the eighth and right fielder Charley Williamson bashed a three-run homer in the ninth. Philip Britt ((0-1) suffered the loss by giving up 4 runs in 3 innings.

Waleska improved to 11-10 on the season and is in second place by a few percentage points. The Westerners trail the co-leaders Sugar Valley, Marston, Forest City and Belair Beach. All of them have 10-9 marks. Claxton is last in the division at 7-12.
