East Division

Cunningham's 3-Run HR Wins It for Nats
In the first game of a doubleheader, third baseman Doug Cunningham (.259) belted a three-run homer in the eighth inning and made Ozarka a 4-3 winner over South Fork. Up until then, Ken Olson (1-3 2.42) had everything his way and was breezing along with a 3-1 lead. The comeback victory was the Naturals 5th straight over the Stallions. The winning pitcher was Yasuyuki Nakagawa (4-1 1.23), who hurled eight innings, gave up nine hits and three runs. He fanned five and walked two. Reliever Alec DiMaggio (3-0 1.50) got his first save of the season with a runless ninth, although his two walks made it more interesting than the hometown fans or manager Joe Mac Carney wanted.

Ozarka (19-10) is the top team in the TBU East Division and South Fork (10-20) is in last place.

Stallions End Nats 5-Game Win Streak
In the second game, South Fork got a late-inning homer to top first place Ozarka 2-1 and end their win streak at five. Third baseman Glenn Holliday (.239) poled a two-run shot in the top of the ninth for the victory. Loser Luther Hatch (5-2 2.84) was on the verge of his sixth win, when he served up the game-winner. He allowed only six hits and fanned four. Reliever Ken Conner (1-1 3.72) was the winner and worked two exceptional innings. He face six batters and struck four of them out. Stallion starter Flint Battle performed well, too. He pitched seven innings and limited the Nats to just four hits before he left for a pinchhitter. Third baseman Doug Cunningham (.268) got another home run in the nightcap. It was his 13th of the year, second to Fairfax's Gregg Vincent, who has hit 15 so far.

Splitting the twinbill gave Ozarka a 19-11 mark, while last place South Fork moved to 10-20.

Nakayama Knocks Off Zorros 7-2
Kazuhiro Nakayama stopped Luxora 7-2 today at Ninja Stadium in Ginza. Nakayama (3-4 2.87), a 5'6" righthanded stylist, held the Z's to six hits to garner his third win this year. The Ninjas rapped out 12 hits and were led by shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.282), who had two hits and two RBIs, including a home run. Catcher Howard Mitchell (.217) also drove in a pair of runs. Taking the loss for Luxora was starter Chris Pierce (3-1 2.12). He was hurt by faulty defense and allowed six runs and seven hits, but only two earned runs. He was relieved in the fifth inning.

Luxora (15-13) is second in the TBU East standings, three games out of first, while Ginza (14-15) is in a fourth place tie with Hartsdale (14-15).

Griffin Strikes Out 11 'Canes
Young 22-year-old Danny Griffin of the Hartsdale Hellcats gave Cape Coral fits today as Seaside Stadium. Griffin (4-4 2.58) fired a third strike past 11 Hurricanes on the way to a 3-0 shutout. He tired in the ninth and needed the help of Gene Young (1-0 2.61) for the final three outs. It was Young's 5th save. Offensively second baseman Francisco Abreu (.245) went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a sac fly. Third baseman Whiz Weaver's (.284) 7th roundtripper accounted for the other run.
Kaz Hayakawa (3-3) suffered the loss. He tossed seven innings and yielded six hits and two runs.

Cape Coral (15-14) is in third place, 3.5 games behind the Ozarka Naturals (19-11). Hartsdale (14-15) is tied for fourth with the Ginza Ninjas (14-15).
