Ruthlandian Union - North Division

FM Massacres Valmara 16-3
From start to finish, it was no contest -- the first place Far Mountain Redhawks unleashed 20 hits and massacred third place Valmara 16-3 for their fifth straight win. Catcher Dave Davis (.357) rapped five hits in six at-bats and drove in six runs, third baseman Johnny Strickland (.260) was 3-for-5 with five RBIs and center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.291) went 3-for-5, scored three and knocked in a pair. Strickland had a grand slam in the first inning and Davis hit a three-run blast in the fourth. Vic Vaux (4-1 3.08) sailed through the Vipers line-up, holding them to seven hits en route to a complete game victory. Vaux fanned four and walked two. Starter Gerry Bart (1-4 5.44) caught the loss, being shellacked for four runs and three hits in just one inning.

The Redhawks (25-17) expanded the RU North lead to a game on Colfax (23-17) and Valmara dips to 21-20, 3.5 games out.

All-Stars Upend Colfax 5-3
Cellar-dwelling Elnora put an end to its three-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over first place Colfax at State Fair Park. Carl Costas and John Tinker combined to extend the Blasters losing skein to three games. Costas (2-6 3.41) picked up the win by working the first six innings, allowing five hits and three runs. He was shaky on his control and issued five walks, but fanned six. Tinker (3-6 4.66) came on in the seventh and garnered his first save with three scoreless frames.

Manager Clem Rogers' mound staff is depleted, so Harry Manning went the distance out of necessity. "I would have had to use my next two starters, if he hadn't given us the innings," said Rogers. "I think we'll be OK tomorrow." Manning (5-4 3.68) didn't fare well, though. The All-Stars peppered him for nine hits and five runs and sent him down to defeat. Both ballclubs had 9 hits with Elnora led by left fielder Quincy Peterson with a pair of hits and two RBIs. Right fielder Art Atkins (.359), first baseman Rick Tsoukalis (.229) and center fielder Harry Wright (.216) had the other RBIs. Topping Colfax were second baseman Tucker Hill (.348) with 3-for-5, center fielder Ronnie Wright (.310) drove in two runs and third baseman Russ Farrell (.300) batted in one.

Elnora (17-25) is last in the RU North Division. Colfax (23-17) is in second place, a game off the pace.

Volusia Squeaks by Glasco 2-1
Manager Alfonso Feliz of the Volusia Vigilantes may have found himself a solid starter in newcomer Kit Kivett, who joined the club last week. In just his second starting assignment Kivett (2-0 1.50) held Glasco at bay 2-1 at Silver River Stadium. It was his second straight complete game as he restricted the A's to five hits, struck out seven and walked three. Kivitt outhurled Ernie McCain (2-4 3.18), who pitched well, allowing six hits and two runs in seven innings. Left fielder Lonnie Howard (.220) tripled in the fifth and came in on right fielder Dan Rogers' (.248) ground out. The V's tallied another one in the sixth, when center fielder Alex Luna (.262) beat out a bunt single, moved to second on hit by first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.256), stoled third and came across to score on a ground out by third baseman Bennie Anderson (.248). Glasco's only run came in the top of the ninth. First baseman Francisco Robles (.276) tripled with two outs and scored on a wild pitch. Kivett put an end to the rally when the next hitter flied out to left.

The Athletics (19-20) are in the fourth spot in the RU North standings, while Volusia (18-24) moved out of the celler to fifth place, one game up on last place Elnora (17-25).
