Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Blasters Outscore Vigilantes 10-7
Colfax didn't get as many hits as Volusia, but they made better use of them in a 10-7 hitfest at Silver River Stadium. The Blasters only got 11 hits to 16 for the V's, but that was enough. First baseman Dennis Cole (.302) rapped in three runs with his 10th homer, while center fielder Blinky Brandon (.320) went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, second baseman Tucker Hill (.322) was 2-for-5 with two RBIs and third baseman Russ Ferrell (.261) was 2-for-5 and batted in two runs. Volusia was paced by first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.244), third baseman Bennie Anderson (.282) and right fielder Lonnie Howard (.210). They each had three hits.
Although he wasn't around at the finish, Greg Forest (4-1 4.39) chalked up the victory. He gave up ten hits and six runs and departed in the seventh leading 7-6. A three-run eighth solidified the game for him. Starter Hank Massey (2-5 3.51) was the loser. He was belted for five runs and five hits and left in the third inning down 5-0.

Colfax (19-13) is on top of the RU North, while Volusia (15-19) is in the cellar, five games behind.

Redhawks Win Fifth Straight
Things are getting better and better for the Far Mountain Redhawks and worse and worse for the Elnora All-Stars. The Redhawks routed the All-Stars 13-1 for their fifth successive win and Elnora's fifth straight defeat. Far Mountain is now in second place in the RU North.

Spearheading the Far Mountain 15-hit onslaught were second baseman Shirai Kobayashi (.307), left fielder Terry Mancuso (.133) and center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.264) with three RBIs each. Catcher Dave Davis (.321) and third baseman Johnny Strickland (.236) scored three times each in the runaway.

33-year-old righthander Vic Vaux (3-1) tossed a six-hitter, fanned four and walked only one in a fine outing. Troy Hudson (3-2 3.30) exited early in the sixth frame and caught the loss. The Redhawks banged him around for five runs and eight hits.

Far Mountain's (18-16) win streak has lifted them into second place in the RU North, two games behind leading Colfax (19-13). Elnora (14-20) is in the division basement and trail by six games.

A's Edge Vipers in 17 Innings
The Glasco Athletics edged the Valmarar Vipers 5-4 in 17 innings. Right fielder Jose Valenzuela and second baseman Barry McCord were the heroes for Glasco. Valenzuela (.333) tripled to lead off the seventeenth and scored on McCord's (.246) singled to end the marathon struggle. Both managers had to delve into their starting rotations to find enough pitchers in the late innings. McDuffie Hughes called on Charles Darby (5-2 1.88) in the sixteenth and he got the win with two scoreless innings. J. Jackson Samuel used two of his starters in relief, Paul Schoenfeld for four innings and Chuck Kowalcyzk. The loss went to Kowalcyzk (1-3 5.11), who didn't get anyone out in the last inning.

Glasco had 16 hits in the game with center fielder Chet Reynolds collecting four of them and Valenzuela three. Third baseman Rick Atkins (.262) belted a three-run homer. Valmara slapped 17 hits and were led by left fielder Louis Sharp (.363), third baseman Rickey O'Reilly (.288) and second baseman Scott Kaminski (.406), all with three hits apiece. Viper center fielder Jan Szymanski and shortstop Mike Ellefsen each had roundtrippers.

The Athletics (16-15) jumped ahead of the Vipers (17-16) in the standings and are now in third place in the RU North. Valmara falls to the fourth spot.
