TBU West Division

Frogs-Lynx Open Series at Frog Pond
Fairfax clipped La Claire 1-0 in the opening game of the series between the top two clubs in the TBU West. It is the first series between the best clubs in the early part of the inaugural IPA season. Righthander Robby Meredith (2-0) threw a sensational five-hit shutout against the first place La Claire Lynx. He had six strikeouts and no walks in the contest. His mound counterpart, Jerry Smith, was almost as formidable. He yielded only one run and five hits in seven innings with four Ks and a walk. Catcher Joey Jarvis batted in the only run of the game in the second inning with a triple.

La Claire (14-8) is still 1.5 games ahead of the second place Frogs (12-9).

4-Hit Shutout for Sox Henry
Pat Henry of the Blue Lake Blue Sox, poised beyond his 23 years of age, fashioned a masterful four-hit shutout and toppled the Arlon Champions 3-0. Henry (2-3) went the distance and completed the game with seven strikeouts and two bases on balls. That made it four straight victories for Blue Lake and the fourth loss in a row for the Champs. The loss went to Ray Hart (3-2), who acquitted himself well, giving up only six hits and two runs in seven innings. In the fourth Ken Bennett sent the first run in with an RBI groundout, in the sixth a run scored on double play and Donnie Frazier smacked a solo homer in the eighth frame, his 5th of the season.

The Blue Sox (11-10) have third place all to themselves in the TBU West. while Arlon (9-12) slipped to the fifth spot in the division standings. Blue Lake trails the top team La Claire (14-8) by 2.5 games.

Bayview Edges Bucs 5-4
Skipper Walter Johannsen got some good bullpen help as his Vikings held off visiting Bay St. Clair 5-4 at Downtown Plaza Stadium in Bayview. Jesus Carvajal and Buzzy Lewis came to the rescue of Frank Wells (4-0) and saved his fourth victory of the season. Wells was treated rudely by the Bucs as they battered him for nine hits and four runs, when he exited in the seventh. They held the Buccaneers scoreless after they had narrowed the gap to one run in the seventh. Lewis got his IPA-leading fifth save. Shortstop Shorty Richards led the Viking hit parade with three RBIs and a home run and left fielder Glenn Burns knocked in a pair of scores. Second baseman Chuck Hankins paced Bay St. Clair with two hits and a three-run roundtripper. Loser Ted Jorgerson (0-4) melted down in the fourth and left the building after permitting five runs and five hits.

Bayview (11-11) now sits in the fourth spot in the TBU West race and Bay St. Clair (7-14) is sitting in the basement. The Vikings are trailing first place La Claire (14-8) by three games.
