Ruthlandian Union - South Division

SV Finally Wins, Trounces Marston 12-6
The longest losing steak in the Islandian Pro Alliance came to a halt today in Marston. The Sugar Valley Rattlers trounced the Nine 12-6 to snap their nine-game slid. And they did it with a vengeance by lashing 16 hits. Everybody in the line-up including the pitcher got at least one base hit. Catcher Shotgun McFall (.370) led the club with three hits and two RBIs. Shortstop Flipper Bird (.242), third baseman Jorge Vargas (.345) and left fielder Cy Bartz (.281) all laced a pair of hits and drove in two runs. Right fielder Nick Price (.500) went 2-for-3 and scored three times. Vargas had the only Rattler homer, his 10th. Although it wasn't an artistic success, Tony Michelet (4-5 4.66) went the distance and allowed eight hits, Marston second baseman Ken Green (.358) slammed his 7th home run of the season and batted in three runs, while catcher Eddie Allen (.280) hit his 4th. Right fielder Chris Deangelo (.296) delivered two hits and two RBIs for the Nine. Loser Paul Azard (5-2 2.90) only lasted three innings and surrendered four runs and five hits.

Rattler skipper Gibby Bobkins told reporters, "Maybe that will get the monkey off our backs and we can get back to playing like we did earlier in the season. Heck, we are only 4.5 games out. We still have over a 100 games to go and I think we will be in the playoffs at the end."

Bay St. Clair held the old record of consecutive-game losses. They dropped six games in a row in early April and also lost six straight May 10-14.

Sugar Valley (22-24) tumbled from first to fifth during the losing streak. Marston (27-20) is on top of the RU South.

Lumberjacks Bahr-ly Beat Westerners 4-1
In Forest City, the Lumberjacks toppled Waleska 4-1 on an impressive mound performance by the slender lefty Herm Bahr and home runs by second baseman Jesse Wolf and third baseman Ricky Mitchell. Bahr (5-3 2.81) garnered his third straight win with a six-hitter, eight Ks and just one walk. The Lumberjacks only got six hits, but made the most of them. Wolf (.297) hit his 14th roundtripper and Mitchell (.196) slugged his 8th. Rusty Kraft (3-5 4.67) hurled a complete game in defeat, allowing only six hits.

Forest City (26-22) gained a game on first place Marston (27-20) and is now just 1.5 games behind them. Waleska (23-25) is in fourth place.

Sunbirds Drub Diamonds 9-2
In Claxton, it was no contest between visiting Belair Beach and the hometown Diamonds. It was all Belair Beach as they trounced them 9-2, hitting three homers in the process. The Ruthlandian Union home run leader, left fielder Nicky Swift (.341), pounded two more, giving him 19 on the year, and shortstop Danny Church (.283) cracked his 5th. Swift powered in five runs, giving him 44 RBIs this year, second to Big Hoss Burkhalter of Waleska, who has 45.. The Sunbirds got good pitching, too. 20-year-old Ken Frey (2-3 3.81) crafted the win, keeping Claxton hitters off-balanced and guessing throughout the game. They got nine hits, but not when runners were in scoring position. Dennis Scott (3-5 4.20) suffered the defeat, permitting five runs on six hits in four innings.

Belair Beach (24-24) improved to the .500 mark and is in third place in the division, 3.5 games out of first. Claxton (21-28) is last, seven games behind.
