Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Flog Champions 9-5 in Opener
Harry Buckley's first place Fairfax Frogs ripped off their 6th straight victory by pounding Arlon 9-5 in the first game of a doubleheader at Derby Downs. Gregg Vincent and Company bombarded the Champs with 16 hits to make life easy for pitcher Johnny Schluessler. Right fielder Vincent (.316) walloped his 20th home run and drove in three to give him 47 RBIs. Both figures are the IPA's best. Schluessler (2-3 3.83) breezed to his 2nd win of the season, allowed nine hits, fanned five and walked four. Craig Smith (5-3 3.61) was pinned with the loss. He was shelled for five runs in the first and didn't make it out of the inning.

Fairfax Takes Two from Arlon
What a game for Jackie Leslie. He tossed a 4-hitter, won his 7th game, had two RBIs and three hits, including a home run. He just about did it all in the Fairfax 7-1 win over Arlon. The first place Frogs took both games of the twinbill and now have chalked up seven wins in a row. In game two they punched out 18 hits off three Champ hurlers, led at the plate by Leslie (.276), center fielder Billy Echevarria (.288) and first baseman Earl Hutchinson (.287), all with three hits apiece. Leslie (7-2 3.75) only problem was too many walks. He issued eight, while striking out five. Arlon starter Ray Hunt (4-5 2.74) was knocked out in the four-run third and sustained the loss, his club's fourth in succession. He gave up five runs and eight hits overall.

Fairfax (25-13) is sitting on top of the TU East Division and Arlon (16-22) is in the fifth spot, nine games out of first.

Viks Crush Lynx 10-2 in Opening Game
The Bayview Vikings crushed La Claire 10-2 for their third consecutive triumph in the first of two at Capitol Park Stadium. The Viks lashed 17 hits on the way to an easy win by Jesus Carvajal, who stopped the Lynx on seven hits. Carvajal (4-1 3.70) totaled six Ks and allowed only one base on balls. Topping the Bayview batters were shortstop Shorty Richards (.255) and first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.302) with two hits each, with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored. Coleman has 16 roundtrippers for the season and Richards has hit 5. Center fielder Phil Kanaan (.325) added four hits to the Viks total. Tony Nygaard (1-1 4.15) went out early and caught the loss. He pitched only two innings and was tagged hard for five hits and five runs.

LC Splits Bill with Bayview, Wins Nightcap 5-3
The La Claire Lynx got some heavy hitting from Rob Hart and a solidly-pitched outing from Jerry Smith to whip Bayview 5-3 and gained a split of the doublebill. It was first loss in three games for Bayview and it snapped La Claire's four-game losing string. Left fielder Hart (.273) unloaded a pair of home runs, numbers 9 and 10, and drove in all five runs, while Smith (5-4 4.27) shut out the Vikings until the eighth, when they tallied three times. Smith weathered the storm and scattered eight hits in the game with seven strikeouts and walked only one. Bayview had 8 hits, while the Lynx only got 6. Frank Wells (4-2 3.48) was the losing pitcher. La Claire got to him for five runs in seven innings, but only three were earned. The Vikings first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.303) got another home run in the second contest, his 17th this year. Coleman also ran his RBI total up to 42. Both stats are second in the IPA, topped only by Gregg Vincent of Fairfax, who has 20 homers and 48 RBIs.

Bayview (22-18) is in the division's runner-up position and is four games back of first place Fairfax (25-13) in the TU West. The Lynx (20-19) occupy the third spot and are 5.5 games our of first.

Blue Sox Open Twinbill with 6-1 Victory
Big 6'5" Jay Clay was really humming in his 6-1 win over Bay St. Clair in the opening game of the doubleheader at Shoreline Park. Clay (3-2 2.57) struck out seven, walked nobody and stopped them on just four hits. Center fielder Donnie Frazier (.336) and Fred Taranto (.321) provided the power with home runs. Frazier's was a grand slammer, his 8th this season, and Taranto hit a solo shot, his 5th so far. The Bucs first baseman Maury Smith (.352) accounted for the only run off Clay, home run number 5 on the year. The Blue Sox rapped out 12 hits off of Ben Crowley (2-4 4.84) in six innings as he gave up six runs for the loss.

Bucs Whip Sox 5-4, Clubs Divide D'Header
It has been a rocky season for Ted Jorgerson of the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers, but not today. He brought his "A" stuff to the game and walked off the mound with a complete-game 5-3 victory. Jorgerson (2-4 5.37) held Blue Lake to seven hits, while fanning four and issuing only one base on balls. Catcher Ernie Lewis (.214) plated two runs with a single in the third inning and left fielder Charley Moon (.308) walloped a three-run roundtripper in the fourth. All of the runs were given up by loser Clint McPherson (0-1 4.70) in less than four innings of work. The Buccaneers numbered 9 hits to Blue Lake's 7.

With split in the twinbill, Blue Lake (17-21) climbed up into fourth place in the standings, moving just ahead of Arlon (16-22) by a game. Bay St. Clair (16-23) is in the TU West Division cellar, 9.5 games behind the division leader. The Bucs are only a half-game out of fifth.
