Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Take Close One From Blue Sox 4-2
The TU West leader, the Fairfax Frogs, scored early with three runs in the third and then held on to whip Blue Lake 4-2 at Harbor Stadium. The red-hot Frogs notched their fourth consecutive win. Ancient Johnny Schleussler (3-4 4.01) tossed a fine game, holding the Blue Sox to eight hits and two runs over eight innings. The 40-year-old righthander gave up a lead-off single in the ninth, so manager Harry Buckley called in Mel Murray (3-3 4.54) and he closed it out with no more damage for his first save. First baseman Ernie Hutchinson (.294) was 2-for-4 with two RBIs to lead the Frogs at bat. He got some help from shortstop Warren Lee (.288), who was 3-for 4 and an RBI and center fielder Billy Echevarria (.258) with the other RBI. Jay Clay (4-3 2.65) was tacked with the loss as Fairfax collected nine hits and all four runs off him in seven innings.

The Frogs have an eight-game lead over runner-up Bayview in the Tycobbian Union West.

LC Lynx Outpowers Viks 6-3
Three homers were too much for Bayview to overcome as the La Claire Lynx edged within a half-game of second place with a 6-4 victory. First baseman Al Tisak (.151) and shortstop Dirk Lindahl (.263) hit solo shots, while catcher Dennis Weiss (.298) KO'd the Vikings with a three-run homer in the sixth to make the score 4-3. Jerry Smith (6-5 3.96) gave up a lot hits, 11 in all, but only surrendered three earned runs. Smith powder-puffed his way to his 6th win. Loser Charley Andrews (5-4 4.91) allowed the three home runs, five runs and seven hits in six innings of work. Bayview shortstop Shorty Richards (.253) drove in two runs in defeat and had two hits.

Bayview is in second place in the TU West, eight games in back of first place Fairfax, who is running away with the division. The Lynx are third, 8.5 games out.

Champs Slip Past Buccaneers 5-4 in Opener
In the first game of two at Shoreline Park in Bay St. Clair, fourth place Arlon slipped past the Bucs 5-4, paced by home runs by third baseman Archie Berry (.250) and shortstop Bama Hartley (.288). Berry had three hits and two RBIs to lead the Champs. Jim Davis (1-0 5.74) corraled the win by going into the seventh and holding Bay St. Clair to three runs. Rod Kelley registered the save, his first of the season, although he allowed a run and two hits in his two-plus innings. The longball did Gary Robinson in again - he has given up 13 this year. Arlon pummeled him for five runs and nine hits in six innings. Both ballclubs socked 11 hits each, with Bucs center fielder Nicky Friedrich (.310) going 3-for-4 and driving in a pair of runs. First baseman Maury Smith (.376), who is the top hitter in the Tyrobbian Union, rapped three hits and scored three times.

Champs Take Two from Bucs for 7th in a Row
Back-to-back homers in the twelfth enabled Arlon to take both ends of the twinbill from last place Bay St. Clair, making it seven wins in a row for them. Second baseman Karl Detwiler (.304) slammed a three-run clout off losing pitcher Ken Kazak (0-2 5.24) and shortstop Bama Hartley (.289) followed it with another one to make the score 7-3. Rod Kelley (2-1 3.46) notched the win in two innings of relief, although he did allow the Buccaneers to tie it 3-3 with an unearned run in the last of the eleventh. All total, the Champs hammered four homers on the day with Detwiler getting two of them. He tied the game in the eleventh with a solo shot. First baseman George Lyons (.236) had the other one, also a one-run blast in the second inning. The twin defeats gave the Bucs seven successive losses, a new IPA record. Second baseman Tony Mann (.335) and left fielder Charley Moon (.268) homered for Bay St. Clair and third baseman Bobby Tracy (.320) banged out four hits. Detwiler had four RBIs and three hits in the game. The starting pitchers for both clubs excelled with the Bucs Ben Crowley (2-4 4.32) hurling a very sharp nine innings, holding Bay St. Clair to six hits and only two runs and Craig Smith (6-3 3.10) allowing two runs and eight hits over his seven innings. Crowley walked no one and struck out nine, while Smith had five Ks and no walks.

Earlier in the year Bay St. Clair suffered six consecutive defeat to establish the IPA record.

The sweep put Arlon in a tie for the third spot in the TU West Division with the La Claire Lynx.
