Frogs Bomb Lynx 7-3, Now in First Place
In the opening game of the doublehearder, the Fairfax bats were smoking today at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire. The Frogs scorched the Lynx 7-3, belting four homers and five doubles among their 13 hits. They hit three roundtrippers back-to-back-to-back in the fourth inning. Right fielder Gregg Vincent (.306), left fielder Gator Brown (.275) and second baseman Vince Cooper (.118) all went downtown. First baseman Ernie Hutchinson (.316) had already hit one in the opening frame. Big Jack Leslie (5-2 4.31) went the distance and shut out La Claire on one hit for the first eight innings, but faltered in the ninth and allowed three runs. Leslie gave up five hits in all. Jerry Smith (4-3 4.30) was the losing pitcher as he was racked for six runs and eight hits before he left in the fifth inning.

Fairfax (17-12) took over first place in the TBU West with the win, while La Claire fell to second place (17-13), a half-game behind.

Frogs Sweep Lynx
Skipper Harry Buckley was beaming ear-to-ear as his Fairfax Frogs took a twinbill from the La Claire Lynx, winning the nightcap 8-5. Fairfax piled up 12 hits and were sparked by left fielder Gator Davis (.292), who went 3-for-5, scored twice and had two RBIs, second baseman Greg Inman (.275) with two doubles and right fielder Gregg Vincent (.302) with his 17th home run of the campaign. Left fielder Rich Hart (.283) had a two-run homer for the Lynx, his 8th, and first baseman Dominick Valmont (.217) got his 2nd, a three-run bomb. Righthander Robby Meredith (4-0 2.85) went the route, allowed nine hits and five runs with three Ks and two BBs. Nickie Baumgartner (2-5 4.83) was dealt the defeat. He was tagged for four runs and five hits in three innings.

Fairfax (18-12) took four-out-of-five from La Claire (17-14) and is now King of the Hill in the TBU West Division. The Lynx are in third and trail by 1.5 games.

Viks 4-3 Over Champs, Move Up to 2nd
Bayview's Mike Jardoin held Arlon down for eight innings and closer Buzzy Lewis finished them off in a 4-3 squeaker. Jardoin (2-2 6.64) struck out 11 and gave up three runs on five hits for the win. Lewis (0-1 3.66) was credited with his IPA-leading 8th save. The Vikings ran up a 4-0 lead after five and then held on. Ray Hunt lost it for the Champions, allowing four runs and six hits along with five walks in six innings. Two errors cost Arlon a pair of runs. The Champs shortstop Bama Hartley (.256) had the only home run in the game.

The Vikings (18-13) are in second place in the TBU West, just a half-game out of first. Arlon (14-16) is in the fifth spot in the division.

Bucs Bang Blue Sox 9-5
Bay St. Clair came on with a bang and rapped out 13 hits to whip Blue Lake 9-5 at Harbor Stadium today with first baseman Maury Smith (.336) leading the way with a grand slammer. Shortstop Chuck Hankins (.411) and pitcher Sean Lawrence (.333) also chipped in 2 RBIs each. Hankins got his with a home run. Lawrence (1-3) picked up his first win of the season with a complete game. He surrendered eight hits and five runs. The Blue Sox scored three in the ninth to make it look closer than it really was. Catcher Curly Harris (.198) hit a two-run shot in the inning.

Blue Lake (14-16) is now tied with Arlon (14-16) for the fourth spot in the division, while the Buccaneers (10-20) are in the cellar.
