RBU South Division

Rattlers Stop Westerners Win Streak
The top club in the RBU South, the Sugar Valley Rattlers put a stop to Waleska's winning streak at three with a 6-5 victory. Manager Gibson Bobkins called on his fine closer Gregg Neal and he got them out of hole again with his 4th save. He relieved in the ninth and ended the Westerners threat. They had the tying run on, but couldn't get it in. Neal retired all three men he faced. Tony Michelet (2-2) was the winner, but he gave up four runs and seven hits and had to be taken out in the seventh with the score 6-4. The Waleska loser was Marv Chancellor (1-4), who was pounded for six runs and nine hits before he was relieved in the sixth inning. Third baseman Jorge Vargas and first baseman Ken Arnold had homers for Sugar Valley. Right fielder Karl Dietz led them with two hits and three RBIs. For the Westerners Big Hoss Burkhalter rapped his 5th roundtripper and drove in two runs.

The Rattlers (12-9) are in first place in the RBU South, a game in front of third place Waleska (12-11). Sugar Valley is just a half-game ahead of second place Marston (12-10). Forest City (11-11) and Belair Beach (11-11) are tied for fourth, 1.5 games out.

Nine Shoots Down Sunbirds 8-4
Powerball was the name of the game at Bayside Park in Belair Beach -- but it was the visiting Marston Nine that played it. First baseman Johnny Berthold and right fielder Chris Deangelo both powered three-run homers to pave the way for Marston 8-4 triumph over the hometown Sunbirds. Surprise starter Ed Vogler (2-1) gained the victory as he lasted into the ninth and allowed four runs and 13 hits. Jorge Bonilla relieved him and got his second save this season. Dirk Garrett (1-5) was hit hard and took the loss. He was belted for six runs and 7 hits before he left in the fifth. Belair Beach outhit the Nine 13 to 12, but wasted many of them.

Marston (12-10) is in the second spot in the RBU South Division, just a half-game behind Sugar Valley (12-9), while Belair Beach (11-11) is in a fourth place tie with Forest City and trails by 1.5 games.

FC Slides by Diamonds 5-4
The Forest City Lumberjacks scored late to take a close 5-4 win from the Claxton Diamonds. Third baseman Ricky Mitchell tied it 3-all in the sixth with his 5th roundtripper and pinchhitter Benny Davis sent them ahead 4-3 in the seventh with his 5th home run. Center fielder Ryan Morse doubled and was driven in by shortstop Pops Keller to make it 5-3. Claxton got their offense from Mike McCluskey's solo shot and third baseman Keith Olsen's two-run triple. Righthander Glenn Moore (1-0) turned in a journeyman's job, holding the Diamonds to four runs on eight hits, but he had to get help for the last out in the ninth from Timmy Brooks. It was Brooks' first save of the year. Bill Wallace (0-2) lost it for Claxton as he was tagged for nine hits and five runs. He pitched into the seventh.

The Lumberjacks (11-11) snapped a two-game losing streak and are in a fourth place tie with Belair Beach (11-11), only 1.5 games out of first. Claxton (8-14) is at the bottom of the RBU South Division.
