Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Marston Mauls Rattlers 9-1
The Marston Nine mauled the Spring Valley Rattlers 9-1 with a 13-hit barrage, highlighted by three home runs. Manager Johnny Walters got a solid effort from his big 6'5" righthander Casey Ledbetter, too. Ledbetter (6-1 3.30) easily went the distance and scattered eight hits and had nine Ks and only one walk. Third baseman Roland Thomas (.306) went 4-for-5 with 4 RBIs. Thomas, first baseman Johnny Berthold (.246) and shortstop Lenny Torricelli (.281) all powered homers. Harvey Hines (3-3 3.46) was stuck with the defeat, yielding four runs and five hits in just two innings of work.

Marston (19-14) retains its lead in the RU North Division. Sugar Valley (17-15) is in the third spot in the standings and trails the Nine by 1.5 games.

Thompson Tames Westerners on 3-Hits
Southpaw Carl Thompson of Belair Beach struck out ten Westerners as he fired a splendid three-hitter to beat Waleska 5-1 at Bayside Park. But Thompson (6-2 1.45) needed some ninth-inning help from bullpen ace, Lou Zanelli (4-0 0.47), who converted his 5th save of the season. Leading the Sunbirds at bat were new third baseman Mike Janocko (.143), who socked a two-run roundtripper and drove in three runs in all, center fielder Pat Gilbert (.268) and recently-signed first baseman Phil Gravelli (.286), both with two hits and an RBI.

The triumph put Belair Beach (18-15) past Sugar Valley (17-15) for the runner-up spot in the division. The Sunbirds are now one game back of first place Marston (19-14). Waleska (17-17) saw their record drop to .500 on the year. The Westerners are fourth.

'Jacks Edelman Spins Win Over Diamonds
Forest City's Vinny Edelman threw a lot of pitches, but he walked off the mound with a 5-2 victory over the Claxton Diamonds. Edelman (1-2 2.95) won for the first time this year by stopping Claxton on six hits, while fanning six and walking five. He beat Zach Nuxhall (1-3 4.80), who was racked for 11 hits and 4 runs in six innings. The Lumberjacks whacked a dozen hits and were paced by homers by left fielder Chuck Hill (.372), his 12th, and right fielder Benny Davis (.233), who clouted his 8th.

Forest City (17-17) is back up to .500 and shares fourth place with the Waleska Westerners (17-17). They are 2.5 games out of first in the RU South race. Claxton (12-22) is last.
