Tycobbian Union - East Division

Hellcats Griffin Fans 13, Loses 3-1 to Naturals
In his workman-like fashion Ozarka's dependable righthander Yasuyuki Nakagawa wove his magic and mastered Hartsdale 3-1 on a six-hitter. Nakagawa (6-2 2.04) nabbed his sixth win of the season, struck out only two and walked four. The first place Naturals had a tough time with Danny Griffin (4-7 3.17), who set down 13 of them on strikes in his seven innings, just one short of the IPA mark held by Flash Guidry of Colfax. He whiffed 14 Glasco A's on May 12. Griffin ran out gas and went out for a pinchhitter. Second baseman Duane Starr (.299), shortstop Gil Lantz (.258) and right fielder Denny Little (.200) sparked Ozarka with one RBI apiece. Left fielder Ronnie Patterson also socked three hits for the Nats.

Ozarka (24-17) is the top dog in the TU East race with Hartsdale (19-23) straggling behind by 5.5 games and resting in the fifth spot.

SF's Battle Fans 11 Zorros
The South Fork Stallions extended their winning string to three and slapped Luxora with its 6th successive loss. Flint Battle (6-4 2.88) is on a streak of his own with his third victory in a row, an 8-2 triumph. South Fork socked 12 hits and were led by shortstop Bobby Riley (.302) with 3-for-4, two doubles, three RBIs and two runs scored. Second sacker Don Risberg (.200) delivered two hits and batted in a pair of scores and Battle (.167) smacked in two for the Stallions. Battle pitched a solid outing, limiting the Z's to just four hits. He fanned 11, his career high, and surrendered three walks. Keith Callahan (4-4 2.74) suffered the loss and allowed six runs and nine hits in five-plus innings.

Luxora (21-19) is still hanging on to the second spot in the division, while South Fork (19-24) is still in the TU East basement and trails first place Ozarka (24-18) by 5.5 games.

Hurricanes Blow by Ninjas 5-3
There were zeros all over the scoreboard at Ninja Stadium today. The two clubs only scored in two innings. Cape Coral broke loose in the sixth with five runs to break up a scoreless battle between Kaz Hayagawa and Kazuhiro Nakayama. Ginza got all three of their runs in the last of the seventh. Hayagawa (4-5 3.77) got credit for the 5-3 victory as he checked the Ninjas on seven hits and three runs -- none earned -- in 6-plus frames. Katsuyuki Nagashima (1-4 2.66) earned his fifth save. He came on with two outs in the seventh and held Ginza without a run the rest of the way. Both ballclubs had nine hits with Hurricane left fielder Rod Kelly (.341) racking up three of them and second baseman Andy Anderson (.303) two. Third baseman Toshiro Nomura (.313) and second baseman Scoop McDonald (.305) had two hits each for Ginza.

The win pushed Cape Coral (21-20) up to sole possession of third place in the TU East, 2.5 games in back of leading Ozarka (24-18). Ginza (21-21) fell into fourth place, just three games off the pace.
