Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Win Third in a Row from Blue Lake
Jackie Leslie of first place Fairfax became a six-game winner by beating Blue Lake 5-3 at the Frog Pond. It was the Frogs third consecutive victory over the Blue Sox. Leslie (6-2 4.13) held Blue Lake to six hits, fanned seven and walked two. On the offensive side right fielder Gregg Vincent (.303) increased his IPA-leading RBI total to 42 with 2-for-4 and a pair of RBIs, while first baseman Ernie Hutchinson (.302) and third sacker Stan Cobb (.362) knocked in a run apiece. Getting the loss was Mickey Dwyer (0-1 5.56). It was his first start of the year and he lasted six innings, allowed four runs and seven hits.

Fairfax, the TU West leader, is 21-13 this season so far, while Blue Lake is in in fifth place with a 15-19 mark and six games behind in the standings.

Hunt Halts Lynx 5-1
Righthander Ray Hunt worked his magic on La Claire as the Arlon Champions toppled them 5-1. Hunt (4-4 2.41) throttled the Lynx on six hits to even his record at 4-4. Not a strikeout artist, this powder puffer fanned only two and walked three, but he kept La Claire hitters off-balance and guessing. They had trouble bunching up their hits against him. Leading the charge for the Champs was first baseman George Lyons (.260) with three hits and three RBIs, including his 5th home run of the year. Center fielder Jerry Keller (.373) added two doubles, scored two runs and batted in a pair for the winners. Jerry Smith (4-4 4.50) chalked up the loss, allowing four runs and five hits in six frames, while striking out seven and issuing three bases on balls.

Arlon (16-18) is fourth in the division and La Claire (19-16) is in second place and trails the top team, Fairfax, by 2.5 games.

BSC Edges Bayview 4-3
In the bottom of the ninth with two outs, Bubba Tate's (.342) pinch-hit double scored Stan Denton (.217) from first base to give Bay St. Clair a 4-3 triumph over the Bayview Vikings. Young Johnny Nikolsky (2-1 2.75) pitched a scoreless inning to gain the victory and Paul Hood (1-2 4.18) took the lost. Both starters went eight innings and acquitted themselves well. Both Frank Wells of Bayview and the Buccaneers Sean Lawrence allowed three runs and seven hits. Batting-wise first baseman Maury Smith (.377) tripled and singled and drove in two runs for Bay St. Clair. Viking left fielder Glenn Burns (.313) had a two-run rip, his 3rd this season. The Bucs had nine hits overall to Bayview's eight.

It was tough loss for Bayview (19-17), it cost them second place in the TU West. They are now third behind runner-up La Claire (19-16) and have fallen three games back of first place Fairfax (21-13). Bay St. Clair (14-21) still in last place in the division and 7.5 games out.
