Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Marston Outscores Waleska 10-7
It wasn't safe to be on the mound today at Legends Field in Marston. The Nine and Waleska had hits galore in Marston 10-7 victory. Marston chalked up 16 hits and were spurred by right fielder Chris Deangelo (.293), who cracked a pair of roundtrippers and drove in four runs. Third baseman Roland Thomas (.319) was 4-for-5 with two runs scored and one RBI and center fielder Ronnie Lee (.429) was 3-for-5 with two RBIs. In the Westerner dugout first baseman Freddie Shelton (.318) and shortstop Eddie Eichhorn (.222) each knocked two-run blasts and second baseman Wiz Taylor (.250) hit a solo homer. It was Shelton's 10th of the season. Center fielder Milt Carlson (.263) went 4-for-5 in Waleska's 14-hit offensive. Phil Azard (5-1 2.41) got the win, but saw his ERA take a big hit with seven runs in seven-plus innings. Ed Vogler (2-2 4.20) came in in the eighth and closed out the game for his 2nd save. Loser Joe Harrell (1-3 6.82) departed early in the third after being pelted for seven runs and eight hits.

First place Marston (24-19) snapped a brief two-game losing string. The Westerners (22-22) had won the last two contests. The Nine are on top of the RU South standings, 1.5 games ahead of runner-up Forest City (23-21). Waleska is in a two-way tie for third place with the Sugar Valley Rattlers (21-21).

Lumberjacks Bolts Past Rattlers for 6th Win
Forest City and Sugar Valley flipped-flop back and forth in the game before the Lumberjacks exploded for 6 runs in the eighth to rap the Rattlers 6-5 and win for the sixth successive time. It was the Rattlers sixth loss in a row. Sugar Valley's Ron Benson (6-4 2.71) had a no-hitter and a 1-0 lead until the eighth when second baseman Johnny Mack Butler (.269) smashed a home run to open the flood gates. Just a few batters later, center fielder Ryan Morse (.362) blasted a three-run homer and sent Benson to the showers. The Rattlers made it close with a four-run ninth against Jim DiGregorio, but closer Timmy Brooks (1-2 1.27) came in and did his job for his 3rd save. He got the final out with the tying run on third. Sugar Valley outhit Forest City 11-7 as center fielder Freddi Vaux (.314) racked up four hits and second baseman Rudi Oliver (.367) cleared the bases with a three-run triple.

Forest City (23-21) remained close on the heels of first place Marston (24-19) and are only 1.5 games back in the RU South Division. Sugar Valley (21-21) is tied with Waleska (22-22) for third place. Both are 2.5 games out.

Diamonds Sparkle in 10-Inning Victory
In a battle of closers Claxton's Earl Weber bested Belair Beach's Lou Zanelli 6-4 in ten innings at Bayside Park. It was Claxton's fourth straight win and the Sunbirds fourth straight defeat. Weber (3-1 2.66) worked four strong innings, yielding only one run and two hits for the victory. Zanelli (5-2 2.33) had a rocky outing and gave up the decisive runs for the loss. Center fielder Wayne Wilson (.268) delivered the game-winning single, with the insurance run coming on a passed ball. The Diamonds had 13 hits in the game, while the Sunbirds got 10. The winners were paced by first baseman Mike McCluskey (.270) with 3-for-5 and two RBIs. Right fielder Dixie Baker (.336) was 3-for-5, scored three times and hit his 14th roundtripper of the year.

Claxton (19-24) is last in the division standings, while Belair Beach (21-22) is in fifth, 3.5 games off the pace.
