Ruthlandian Baseball Union

North Division

FM Nips Colfax 3-2
Far Mountain skipper Alex Groveland got another quality start from Sonny Elliott. The 29-year-old righthander defeated the Colfax Blasters 3-2. Elliott (4-3 2.62) struck out 7 and walked 3, while giving up 9 hits. In a losing effort Harry Manning (4-2 3.27) went eight innings, allowed three runs, six hits, fanned five and walked two. Right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.279) batted in the winning run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly. Pat Lott (.266) drove in both of the Blasters runs.

Colfax (17-12) is in first place in the RBU North. The Redhawks (14-16) tied for fourth place with Elnora (14-16).

Vigilantes Wipe Out Vipers in 10th
In the first game of a doubleheader, the Volusia Vigilantes exploded for three runs in the tenth to subdue the Valmara Vipers 6-3. The V's teed off on loser Zarek Zalewski (5-2 1.41)), the Vipers ace starter, who was working in relief. It was their third successive victory. Second baseman Chaco Rivera (,275) doubled in the tiebreaker, Scooter Perez (.360) added an RBI-double and Alex Luna (.303) an RBI-single before the inning was over. Closer Ricky Moreno (3-0 1.84) got a reprieve -- he had blown the save in the eighth -- and gained the win. He gave up one run in three innings and fanned four. It was Zalewski's second relief appearance for Valmara. He got a save the first time around, but not his time.

Valmara missed a golden opportunity to move into a first place tie in the RBU North Division. They are still one game behind the Colfax Blasters (17-12). Volusia (13-17) is last in the division.

4 In a Row for Volusia
Volusia swept the twinbill and captured their fourth straight from Valmara. They shellacked the Vipers 8-4 as lefty Raul Sandoval won his fourth game of the season. He was helped by 13 hits. The Vigilantes were paced by third baseman Bennie Anderson (.270) with two hits and three RBIs, including his 2nd homer. Catcher Jorge Rosado (.450) and right fielder Dan Rogers (.233) drove in two runs apiece. Rogers did it with a roundtripper. Sandoval (4-3 2.58) was tagged for 11 hits, but only four runs.

The Vipers (16-14) are now 1.5 games behind the Colfax Blasters (17-12) in the RBU North race. Volusia improved to 14-17, but is still in last place.

A's Take Third in RBU North
Glasco scored five big runs in the second inning on the way to a 6-4 triumph over the Elnora All-Stars. They got rid of John Tinker (3-3 4.50) in quick fashion. The Athletics spanked a dozen base hits around State Fair Park. Sparking Glasco was catcher Nick O'Neil (.286) with two RBIs and third baseman Rick Adkins (.244) with three hits. Left fielder Quincy Peterson led the All-Stars with a perfect 4-for-4 day. Elnora had 11 hits for the day. Starter Kenny Metcalf (3-1) collected the win, but needed Ray Cook to close it out. Metcalf (3-1 4.63) chalked up six innings and permitted four runs, ten hits, three walks and seven strikeouts. Cook allowed only one hit in the last three innings for his second save.

Glasco evened their season mark at 14-14 and sit 2.5 games off the pace in third place, while Elnora (14-16) is tied with Farm Mountain (14-16) for the fourth spot in the RBU North standings.
