Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Sandoval Shuts Out FM, Ends 7-Game Win Streak
The scoreboard had nothing but zeros when Alex Luna stepped up to the plate to lead off in the bottom of the tenth. Luna (.265) put a quick end to the scoreless battle between first place Far Mountain and last place Volusia. The Vigilante center fielder powered Mike McCabe's pitch over the fence in right center to win it with a walk-off homer 1-0 and put an end to the Redhawks seven-game winning string. His homer broke up a magnificent pitching duel between Raul Sandoval and Stan Lamoreaux. Sandoval (5-4 2.27) went all ten innings and blanked Far Mountain on six hits with 11 strikeouts and only two walks. Lamoreaux (2-1 1.84) stayed until the ninth, allowed five hits and fanned 9 and left after walking a batter with one out. McCabe (3-2 1.34) got the last two outs in the inning and was pinned with the loss in the next frame.

Sandoval told BNN reporters, "I had my good stuff and it went where I wanted it to go."

To date this year in 11 starts, Sandova has crafted a 5-4 mark with an outstanding 2.27 ERA.

The Redhawks (27-18) are in the top spot in the RU North with a one-game edge over second place Colfax (24-18). Volusia (19-26) lifted itself up out of last place and moved into the fifth spot. The Vigilantes are a game in front of Elnora (18-27).

Blasters Blast All-Stars 10-2, Only One Game Out
Manager Clem Rogers needed a win in the worst way and he got it from his ace, Flash Guidry. Colfax blasted the Elnora All-Stars 10-2 behind an 11-hit barrage and Guidry's strong mound performance and moved to within a game of first place Far Mountain in the RU north race. Guidry (6-3 2.71) checked the All-Stars on 8 hits, struck out 9 and walked 2. At bat it was first baseman Dennis Cole (.292) with five RBIs and three hits, including his 12th roundtripper this season. Center fielder Tatsuya Susaki (.269) went 3-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs. Loser John Tinker (3-7 5.03) was hit hard by the Blasters and surrendered four runs and five hits in three innings.

Colfax (25-18) trails Far Mountain (27-18) by only one game now, while Elnora (18-27) plunged to last place in the division.

A's Over Vipers in 12 Innings
A big five-run twelfth propelled the Glasco Athletics to 10-6 victory over Valmara at War Memorial Stadium. The A's teed off on reliever Danny Rutigliano (0-1 6.40) for all of the runs -- only three of them earned. They have now won three games in a row, while the Vipers are a five-game skid. Glasco belted out 18 hits to back up Charles Darby (7-3 2.11), who went the entire 12 innings, setting a new mark for most innings pitched. Darby permitted 10 hits, fanned 8 and issued 4 walks. Ken Olson of South Fork held the old mark, when he went 11.2 innings in a 2-1 loss to the Luxora Zorros on April 21, opening day in the IPA. The A's attack was paced by third baseman Rick Adkins (.218) with three RBIs, shortstop Kyle Ballentine (.288) with two RBIs and first baseman Zach Byorvik chipped in another pair of RBIs. Valmara's Steve Kaminski (.425) led the Vipers 10-hit offense with three runs scored and three hits. Glasco tied another record in the game with three triples. On May 4 Belair Beach had three against Waleska. There were four triples in this game with Valmara having one. This set a new IPA mark, formerly held by Belair Beach (3) and Waleska (0) in the same May 4 game.

The Athletics (22-20) are third in the standings, 3.5 games off the pace of Far Mountain (27-18). Valmara (21-25) continues to struggle and is 6.5 games in the rear.
