Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU North Division

Blasters Outlast A's in 18 Innings
It was the longest game in IPA history -- breaking the old mark by three innings. Colfax and Glasco battled long and hard for 18 innings and when the dust finally settled the Blasters finally won 4-3 on Wayne O'Reilly's groundball single off Charles Darby with the bases loaded. Darby came on in relief of Arnie McFalls with one out and runners on first and second. He got the second out on a deep fly to right, the runner on second tagged and went to third. Darby walked the dangerous clean-up hitter Dennis Cole (.306) intentionally and then gave up the game-winner to O'Reilly (.205). McFalls (2-3) was credited with the loss, while Robbie Smith (1-1) picked up the win with three spotless innings.

The previous mark was set when Hartsdale whipped Luxora 7-6 in 15 innings on May 5th.

It was the Blasters (15-9) fifth consecutive victory and the Athletics (12-11) fifth straight loss. Colfax has bumped Valmara (15-10) out of the top spot in the RBU North Division. Glasco is in third place.

Volusia Whips Valmara
Last place Volusia scored early and held on to top Valmara 7-5. Vigilantes left fielder Jesus Arroyo and center fielder Alex Luna belted two-run homers to lead the attack. Manager Alfonso Feliz needed a rested pitcher and gave reliever Carl Schmitz (1-0) a surprise start and he did well, checking the Vipers on four hits and three runs over the first six frames. Schmitz left with a 7-3 lead. Valmara threatened in the ninth and closer Ricky Moreno put an end to it and picked up his third save. With the tying runs on first and second, Moreno induced Floyd Vinson (.253) to hit into a game-ending double play. Gerry Bart ((1-2) sustained the loss, giving up five runs, three hits and four walks in less than two inning of work. Center fielder Jan Szymanski (.274) paced the Viper hitters with 3-for-3, including two homers and four RBIs. He also tied an IPA mark for the most runs in a game with four. Dennis Cole of Colfax and Arlon's Jerry Keller have also done it. Cole did it April 25th and Keller on May 6th.

Valmara's (15-10) defeat dropped them to second place in the RBU North, a half-game in back of the Colfax Blasters(15-9). Volusia (10-16) is in last place.

Tinker Tops FM Redhawks 3-1
John Tinker of Elnora is in a groove. He had another impressive outing in the 3-1 triumph over the Far Mountain Redhawks. The All-Star lefty stopped them on four hits, struck out four and issued no walks. Tinker outpitched Vic Vaux (2-1), who tossed seven innings, allowed seven hits, all three runs, fanned four and walked four. Gil Foster (.427), Quincy Peterson (.250) and Todd Simons (.284) drove in the runs. Simons got his on his first homer of the season.

With the win the All-Stars (11-13) moved a game ahead of the Redhawks (10-14) in the RBU North race. Elnora is in fourth place, while Far Mountain rests in fifth.
