Tycobbian Union - East Division

Zorros Outlast Nats in Extra Innings
Luxora and Ozarka battled for 11 innings and the game was decided on a passed ball. The Zorros won 2-1 when catcher Billy Gibson couldn't handle a pitch by losing pitcher Alec DiMaggio and allowed Claudio Ordonez (.227) to score from third base. The starting hurlers hooked up in a good pitching duel. Johnny Montel for the Z's and Donnie Young for the Nats. Both left after nine innings with a 1-1 tie. Montel struck out 10 and gave up 4 hits, while Young fanned 7 and permitted only 3 hits. Andy Stevens (2-0 3.09) recorded the victory with a runless inning, while DiMaggio (3-1 1.33) suffered his first loss of the season. DiMaggio was touched for one run in two innings.

Ozarka (19-13) has now dropped their last three contests. Luxora (17-13) is now just a game behind in second place in the TU East.

'Canes Takes 16-Inning Thriller 10-8
Huggy Miller was one happy manager. His Cape Coral Hurricanes fought back with a huge six-run ninth to tie the game at 8-8 with the South Fork Stallions and then they won it 10-8 in 16 innings. Second baseman Andy Anderson (.281) singled in the winning run with a two-out single. Pitcher Katsuyuki Nagashima (.250) added an insurance run with another RBI single. Nagashima (1-3 4.30) notched the win with three scoreless innings. He fanned five Stallions. The loser was Billy Joe Gordon (0-3 2.91), who hurled four innings, gave up three hits and no earned runs with four Ks. South Fork pitchers struck out 17 Hurricanes and set a new IPA mark for an extra-inning game. The two-team total of 28 Ks was also a new record. Glasco (14) and Colfax (10) set the old mark of 24 on May 14 in an 18-inning contest.

The single-team strikeout record for a regulation game is 14 by Colfax against Glasco on May 12th with the two-team mark being 19 and`held jointly by Blue Lake (13) and Arlon (6) on May 8th and Ozarka (13) and Ginza (6) on May 4th.

Both teams made 3 doubles plays each and established a new mark for an extra-ing game with 6.

Both clubs racked up 13 hits each. Offensively, the Hurricanes were led by third baseman Jose Quinones (.167) and pinchhitter Rod Kelly (.330), each with critical two-run doubles in the ninth inning. In defeat, right fielder Paul Giles (.276) and third baseman Glenn Holliday (.242) starred with two homers and three RBIs apiece. Giles has hit 11 this season and Holliday has 6.

Cape Coral (17-14) is in the third spot in the standings and just 1.5 games out of first place. The Stallions (11-22) are last in the division.

Abreu's 3-Run HR Wins It for Hellcats in 12th
Second baseman Francisco Abreu was the man of the hour at Pioneer Park in Hartdale. He cracked a three-run roundtripper in the last of the twelfth to make the homestanding Hellcats a 6-3 winner over the Ginza Ninjas and halt his club's four-game losing streak. This was after third baseman Whiz Weaver (.279) had dramatically tied it with his 8th homer in the bottom of the ninth. Weaver's was a two-run shot. Abreu (.250) was 3-for-6 in the game and now has 11 home runs and 28 RBIs this season. Ginza was led by third baseman Todd Connolly (.265) with a pair of hits and three RBIs.

19-year-old Jackie Bond (1-1 3.18) won in relief. He pitched a perfect twelfth for the victory. Cody Moore (0-2 5.17) was tagged for the walk-off homer. He came on in relief in the tenth.

Hartsdale (15-17) is fifth in the division, while Ginza (16-16) is in the fourth spot. The Ninjas are three games behind the TU East Division leader, the Ozarka Naturals (19-13).
