North Division

Blasters Break V's Win Streak
The Colfax Blasters put an end to Volusia's four-game winning streak with a 5-3 decision at Silver River Stadium. Colfax belted out 12 hits to back up Flash Guidry's (4-3 2.48) pitching. He fanned five, walked two and allowed nine hits and three runs to get his fourth victory of the season. Guidry (.208) even had a single and a double with an RBI. First baseman Dennis Cole (.313) and catcher Jeff Cook (.222) each contributed two hits and an RBI. Lenny Collins (2-2 4.28) was the losing pitcher as he gave up four runs and nine hits in seven innings.

First place Colfax (18-12) is 2.5 games ahead of second place Glasco (15-14) and third place Valmara (16-15) in the RBU North race. The Vigilantes (14-18) are last in the division.

A's Darby Whips Vipers 6-1
The Glasco Athletics took advantage of a tired Valmara pitching staff and whipped the Vipers 6-1. Valmara has dropped five consecutive games. Manager J. Jackson Samuel had to go to his relief corps to get a rested pitcher. 20-year-old Ted Farentino got the start and gave the Viper staff some much-needed rest, despite losing the game. Farentino (0-2 16.20) went six innings and surrendered eight hits and four runs. Skipper McDuffie Hughes on the other hand had a very rested Charles Darby and he went the distance. He gave up a lot of hits -- 11 -- but the 21-year-old lefty stranded most of them, yielding only one run. Darby (4-2 1.95) totaled three walks and four strikeouts. Shortstop Zach Byorvik (.223) paced the A's at bat with 3-for-4. He had two doubles and a homer with a pair of RBIs. Second baseman Barry McCord (.254) and third baseman Rick Adkins (.245) also homered.

Valmara (16-15) fell 2.5 games off the pace of first place Colfax (18-12). The Glasco Athletics (15-14) have moved up to second place, percentage points in front of the third place Vipers.

Redhawks Edge Elnora 5-4 in Opener
In the opening game of a doubleheader, Far Mountain rallied twice in the late innings to edge the Elnora All-Stars 5-4 at Sky High Stadium. The Redhawk heroes were right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.270), who tied it up at 3-all in the eighth with a sac fly and center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.258), who won it with a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth. Doc Rutledge (4-1 2.38) pitched the last two innings and struck out four, but gave up a roundtripper to right fielder Art Atkins (.364) in the top of the inning that put Elnora up 4-3. Gallagher saved the day for Rutledge, who got the victory. The loss was pinned on John Tinker (3-4 4.58), who came on in relief in the ninth. Both clubs had 10 hits. The All-Stars hammered three homers in a losing cause. Left fielder Quincy Peterson (.292) belted a two-run shot in the third, starting pitcher Ted Gray (.188) had a solo home run in the sixth and Atkins hit one in the ninth.

Far Mountain (15-16) is in fourth place in the RBU North, while Elnora (14-17) fell to fifth.

FM Take Twinbill from All-Stars
The Far Mountain Redhawks won a doubleheader from the Elnora All-Stars. They won the nightcap 3-2 the same way they took the opener, by scoring in the late innings. The Redhawks trailed 2-0 until the sixth, when they tied it up on first baseman Royce Benson's (.309) RBI single and catcher Dave Davis' (.292) sacrifice fly . First baseman Will Jackson (.242) had put the All-Stars ahead in the second with a two-run homer. Then in the last of the eighth left fielder Gerald Davis' (.295) bases-loaded single decided the game. Mike McCabe (1-1 1.17) worked four fine innings for the win. He gave up only two hits in four innings. Each team totaled seven hits as both starters performed well, but had to leave early due to a rain delay. Carl Costas hurled the first five innings and blanked the Redhawks on two hits with four strikeouts. John Luzzatti allowed two runs and five hits in five innings with six Ks. Alonzo Herrera (0-2 8.79) received the loss. He came on in the seventh and departed in the ill-fated eighth, when he gave up two walks and a single to load the bases.

Far Mountain (16-16) improved their season mark to .500 with their third win in a row and is in the fourth spot in the standings, three games off the pace of first place Colfax (18-12). Elnora (14-18) fell down into the basement, now tied with Volusia (14-18).
