Tyrobbian Union - West Division

Meredith Wins 7th, Frogs Batter Blue Lake 7-2
All he does is win games. Robby Meredith of the first place Fairfax Frogs is nothing fancy. He gives up hits, but is hard to score on. Meredith (7-0 2.56) register his 7th victory of the season with a 7-2 triumph over the Blue Lake Blue Sox at Harbor Stadium for their sixth in a row. He allowed ten hits, but was tough in the clutch. Meredith fanned four and issued only one walk. He has yet to lose a game this year. The Frogs backed him up with nine hits, six of them two-baggers. Third baseman Stan Cobb (.354) top the batters with three RBIs. First baseman Ernie Hutchinson (.312) had three hits, two RBIs and scored twice. Fairfax tagged Bennie West (5-5 2.37) with the defeat. He gave up six runs - only three earned - in three-plus innings in one of his poorest outing this season. The Blue Sox have now lost all four games of this series.

The Frogs continue to roll with a sizzling 33-14 record. Blue Lake (20-27) is fifth in the TU West Division, a distant 13 games behind.

Viks Victors in 12 Innings Over Lynx
Walter Johanssen, skipper of the Bayview Vikings, got brilliant bullpen work today as his club ended its five-game spiral with twelve-inning 4-3 win over the La Claire Lynx, ending their win streak at three. The win enabled the Vikings to take over second place in the TU West. The Bayview heroes were relievers Buzzy Lewis and Paul Hood, who retired the last 15 batters in a row, and shortstop Shorty Richards (.264), who tripled and scored the game-winning run on pinchhitter Ed O'Neal's short fly to left field. Closer Lewis (1-2 3.41) held La Claire without a run over the last four innings for the victory. Monoto Kishata (2-4 3.54) suffered the loss, surrendering two runs and seven hits in four-plus frames. The Vikings outhit the Lynx 11-8. The two starters pitched well. Frank Lamoreaux (4-2 2.72) went the first seven and yielded only two runs on four hits. Only one run was earned. Frank Wells (4-3 3.97) started for Bayview and worked seven innings, allowing three runs and eight hits.

Bayview (25-24) is number two in the division and a half-game in front of both Arlon (24-24) and La Claire (24-24). Fairfax (33-14) is 9 games ahead of the Vikings.

Bucs Stop Champs 8-Game Win String
Arlon has played standout baseball for the last eight games and they won them all. But today at Shoreline Park in Bay St. Clair, the best team was the Bucs, who smacked the Champions 7-1 and stopped them one short of the IPA mark for most consecutive wins. Give credit to Norm Gross, who rarely throws a bad ballgame. Gross (6-4 3.13) throttled red-hot Arlon on six hits with a variety of junkballs and also snapped Bay St. Clair's losing string at a record eight. He rarely gave them a good look and left 11 men on base. The Buccaneers gave him plenty of run support with three homers. Third baseman Bubba Tate (.360) jacked a three-run shot, and left fielder Charlie Moon (.266) and right fielder Andy Pettorini (.286) hoisted solo salvos. Woody Fitzgerald (1-1 2.84) was the loser, giving up two of the homers, four runs and three hits in four innings before hitting the showers.

Arlon (24-24) is 9.5 games behind the top team, the Fairfax Frogs (33-14). Bay St. Clair (18-31) is down in the division dungeon, 16 games out.
