Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

Ozarka Zaps Hellcats 13-3
18 hits, six doubles, two home runs and some fine pitching parlayed into a 13-3 runaway win for the Ozarka Naturals over the Hartsdale Hellcats at Ellie Ewing Stadium. The Nats are now tied with Cape Coral for the TBU East lead. Ted Didriksen (3-1) went the distance, restricted the Hellcats to just four hits and fanned five. And second baseman Duane Starr, third baseman Doug Cunningham, right fielder Denny Little and center fielder Teddy Braun supplied the firepower. Starr and Little delivered four RBIs each, Cunningham batted in three and left fielder Ronnie Patterson had two. Cunningham whacked a three-run shot and Little hit a two-run homer. Todd Seals and Mel Poe homered for Hartsdale in defeat. Jim Sears (1-2) caught the loss as he was racked for six runs in three innings.

Ozarka has now won six successive games and is 12-7 this season, while Hartsdale has dropped four straight and is third with a 9-9 mark.

Z's Squeeze by CC
Fifth place Luxora finally won a game and first place Cape Coral finally lost one. The Zorros stopped a four-game drought with a narrow 4-3 triumph over the Hurricanes, who lost for the first time in six games. The defeat, however, put Cape Coral in a first place tie with Ozarka. Pinchhitter Claudio Ordonez delivered a clutch two-run single in the last of the eighth and made a loser out of Katsuyuki Nagashima (0-2). The victory went to closer Roberto Martinez (2-0), who relieved starter Johnny Montel in the eighth. Chris Pierce set down Cape Coral in the ninth for his first save. First baseman Paul Hallenbeck had the other two RBIs for the Z's with a first inning twobagger. Luxora's Montel hurled seven innings, allowed seven hits, three runs, struck out three and issued one base on balls. Cape Coral's starting pitcher Gary Fountain only gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings. He struck out five and walked five. Fountain departed with a 3-2 lead, but Nagashima blew it.

The Hurricanes (12-7) are still in the top spot in the TBU East Division standings, but are now tied with Ozarka (12-7), while the Zorros (8-10) trail in fifth place, 3.5 games off the pace.

SF Hangs On, Nips Ninjas 8-7
The South Fork Stallions found out that a 7-0 lead is not as safe as you think. They just barely hung on to nip the Ginza Ninjas 8-7 at Jock Ewing Stadium for their third straight victory. It took a fine relief job by Billy Joe Gordon to put a halt to the Ginza comeback. He came on in the sixth for the struggling Booger Burchfield and held the Ninjas to just one run. It was Gordon's first save. South Fork leaped out with five runs in the first off loser Buddy Hart (1-2). Hart didn't last an inning. Left fielder Paul Giles had a great day at the plate with two homers and five RBIs to top the Stallions attack. Pacing Ginza was pinchhitter Earl Conley, third baseman Toshiro Nomura and right fielder Charley Campbell. They each slugged home runs. Ninja center fielder Takashi Fujimoto rapped out two hits and drove in two runs.

It was the Ninjas third loss in a row. Ginza (8-11) is in fifth place in the TBU East, four games behind first place Cape Coral and Ozarka. South Fork is last with an 8-12 record.
