Callahan Hurls 2-Hitter, 11 Ks
Luxora's Keith Callahan pitched his third straight superb game. This time he tossed a two-hitter against the number one team in the TBU East. Callahan (4-2 2.05) blazed it past the Ozarka Naturals and rang up 11 strikeouts in the 12-1 slaughter. Center fielder Ryan Patterson's sixth-inning single (.224) and first baseman Fred Snow's (.255) seventh-inning homer were the only hits the Nats got off the 20-year-old wunderkind. This was really the Zorros day. They stroked 15 hits in the runaway, led by catcher Eric Richter (.352) with 3-for-4 and three RBIs and third baseman Rico Vina (.280) with 2-for-4. Vina belted a two-run homer and second baseman Paco Benitez (.263) hit a solo shot. A five-run first got the Z's off and running and the seven-run eighth finished it off. The losing pitcher Tony Didriksen (4-2) didn't even get out of the first inning.

Ozarka (19-12) is two games ahead of second place Luxora (16-13).

Hurricanes Blow Away Stallions 9-7
The Cape Coral Hurricanes blew South Fork away 9-0 in the first seven frames, then had to hold on for dear life as the Stallions surged back for 7 runs in the eighth. But South Fork came up short 9-7. Cape Coral's 12-hit attack was paced by first baseman Rodger Wooten (.284) with three hits in four at-bats, second baseman Andy Anderson (.278) with three hits in five tries, center fielder James Middleton (.354) two hits in four tries and shortstop Bobo Hatfield (.276) with two hits in six at-bats. The Stallions comeback charge was spurred by catcher Darryl Burnett (.234) with 3-for-4, including a 3-run homer and center fielder Mike Yastrzemski (.283) with 3-for-5.

Wally Robinson (6-2 2.78) started for the 'Canes and got credit for his 6th victory, the most in the IPA this season. He was the victim of the South Fork seven-run uprising and had to be relieved in the eighth by Scotty Lohmeyer (0-1 2.16), who got his first save. Starter Jerry Harrison (1-3 4.85) sustained the loss, giving up six runs in three innings.

Cape Coral (16-14) broke a two-game losing streak and is in third place in the TBU East standings. The Hurricanes are 2.5 games out of first place. South Fork (11-21) had won its last two and is last in the division.

Ninjas Nip Hellcats 3-2
The Ginza Ninjas have won three games in succession. Vic Rousakis halted Hartsdale 3-2 at Pioneer Park in the opener of a twinbill. Rousakis (3-4 3.35) fired a four-hitter, fanned five and walked two in a strong outing. The Ninjas trailed 2-1 until the seventh, when they scored twice. First baseman Kenshin Yamamoto's (.262) solo roundtripper accounted for Ginza first run. Third baseman Toshiro Nomura (.294) tied it up with a double and Rousakis (.250) won his own game with a single. Shortstop Mike Burke (.324) homered in the secord for both Hellcat runs. The defeat went to Glenn Mann (2-5 3.47), who struck out seven, walked nobody and allowed three runs and seven hits in eight innings.

Record-wise Ginza is 15-15 and Hartsdale is 14-16.

Ninjas Take Pair from Hellcats
The Ginza Ninjas won their fourth straight game and took the twinbill from Hartsdale, taking the nightcap 6-4 on ninth-inning homers by center fielder Takashi Fujimoto (.264) and first baseman Kenshin Yamamoto (.268). Reliever Jackie Bond (0-1 3.32) gave them up and caught the loss. The winning pitcher was closer Ken Watkins (2-1 2.70), who worked two scoreless innings. The Hellcats collected 16 hits, but lost the game. The Ninjas chalked up 11.

With the sweep Ginza (16-15) is in the fourth spot in the TBU East Division, three full games behind the leading Ozarka Naturals (19-12). Hartsdale (14-17) has slipped to fifth place.
