West Division

Frogs Win Thriller with Lynx
The Fairfax Frogs had a lot to croak about at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire. They won the game 8-6 and also have moved within a half-game of the Lynx in the TBU West race. With the score tied 6-6 in the top of the eighth, second baseman Greg Inman (.269) doubled, catcher Marv McCoy (.315) tripled him in to take a 7-6 lead and center fielder Billy Echevarria (.261) added an insurance run with an RBI single. The Frogs laced 11 hits a well-balanced attack. Five players had two hits apiece and six of them had at least one RBI. Echevarria and third baseman Stan Cobb (.387) each drove in two runs and had two hits. Echevarria homered and doubled, while Cobb had a double and a single. La Claire cracked 10 hits and were led by shortstop Dirk Lindahl (.230), who plastered two roundtrippers and drove in three runs. Center fielder Lucky Collins (.304) helped out with 3 hits in 5 tries.
Takehide Takahashi (2-1) nabbed the win even though he gave up a run and three hits in his 2+ innings. Closer Monoto Kishata (1-1) worked one inning and took the loss. He was tagged for two runs and two hits in the eighth.

Fairfax (16-12) is now challenging La Claire (17-12) and Bayview (17-13) for the TBU West lead.

Smith Tosses 4-hitter, Beats Bayview
34-year old Craig Smith limited Bayview to four measly singles in Arlon's 6-1 win at Downtown Plaza Park, spoiling the Vikings chance to take over the top spot in the TBU West. Smith (4-2) was in command as he struck out 5 and walked three. The Champs were hitting well, too. They socked 12 hits off three Viking hurlers and tied an IPA mark for the most triples in a game with three. Belair Beach hit three against Waleska on May 4th. First baseman George Lyons (.255) led the charge with three hits and three RBIs, including one of the triples. Frank Wells (4-1) lost for the first time this season as Arlon slapped him around for nine hits and four runs before he departed in the seventh. But only two of them were earned.

Bayview (17-13) is in the third spot in the division and trail the leader, La Claire (17-12), by a half-game. Fairfax (16-12) currently has second place by a few percentage points over the Viks. Arlon is fourth with a 14-15 record and tied with Blue Lake (14-15).

Sox Sink Bucs 6-5 in 14
The Blue Lake Blue Sox made the home crowd happy at Harbor Stadium with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory. They were down a run in the ninth and tied it 3-3. Then in the fourteenth they were down 5-3. This time the Blue Sox won it. Second baseman Dandy Wilson's (.240) two-run double made a loser out of Norm Gross (4-3) and made a winner out of Derek Manetti (3-0), who got the last out in the top of the fourteenth.
Blue Lake had 15 hits in the game and were paced by shortstop Cy Orgeron (.291) with three hits and Fred Taranto (.318) with two hits and two RBIs. Shoichi Tanaka (.265) netted three hits in five tries and two runs scored for the Buccaneers and first baseman Maury Smith (.333) pounded his 3rd homer of the year.

Blue Lake (14-15) and Arlon (14-15) are in a dead heat for fourth place in the TBU West. Bay St. Clair (9-20) is wallowing in last.
