Vogler Twirls 2-Hitter Against Westerners
The first place Marston Nine won their third game in succession with a sensational two-hitter by Ed Vogler and a strong show of power in a 5-1 victory over the Waleska Westereners. Vogler (3-2 3.78) was in complete command and had eight strikeouts and four walks in his route-going game. Center fielder Tommy Reinhold (.307) had a double, triple and home run to pace the Nine with right fielder Chris Deangelo (.289) and catcher Mo Chappell (.276) each going deep as well. Waleska starter Marv Chancellor (3-7 5.68) fanned 11 in six innings, but was hit hard by Marston. He gave up seven hits and four runs and got the loss.

The Marston Nine (30-20) lead the RU South, while Waleska (24-27) is 6.5 games behind them in fourth place.

Hill Hits Cycle, 'Jacks Crush Sunbirds 14-3
Forest City did everything right today at Bayside Park in Belair Beach. Left fielder Chuck Hill hit for the cycle, the Lumberjacks stroked 17 hits and Vinny Edelman tossed a strong game as they crushed the Sunbirds 14-3. It was the first time a player in the Islandian Pro Alliance hit a cycle. Hill (.356) hammered his 15th homer, had 4 hits, 5 RBIs and scored three times, right fielder Benny Davis (.254) got his 12th and first baseman J. T. Edmonds (.210) smacked his 6th. And Edelman (4-3 3.05) stopped Belair Beach on seven hits and he finished up with six Ks and two walks. Troy Wilson (3-6 4.48) lost it for the Sunbirds as he allowed seven runs and six hits in less than two innings. RU home run leader, Nicky Swift (.347), hit his 20th this season for Belair Beach. Swift also tops the league with 48 RBIs.

Hill admitted to the press in the post-game interview, "Actually the first three hits were sort of lucky. But I knew what I needed to complete the cycle. And you know, I got exactly what I wanted. Lotta luck in hitting for the cycle."

Forest City tied the IPA record for the most double plays in a regulation game with four. Arlon did it May 29 against Bay St. Clair. The record for most in an extra-inning game is also four, held by Far Mountain. The Redhawks did it in an eleven-inning contest against Colfax on May 18.

The Lumberjacks (27-24) are in the second spot in the division and trail Marston (30-20) by 3.5 games. Belair Beach (25-26) is third, 5.5 games off the pace.

Claxton Clips Rattlers in 11 Innings 8-7
At Avalon Stadium in Claxton, the Blasters clipped Sugar Valley 8-7 in 11 innings. Center fielder Wayne Wilson (.248) got on by an error by third baseman Jorge Vargas, advanced to third on shortstop Bobby Ritter's (.318) double and scored on second baseman Donny McCoy's (.361) sacrifice fly. Greg Neal (4-3 2.25) lost it for the Rattlers, yielding five hits and two runs in three-plus innings. Alex Vanzetti (3-1 2.03) continued to shine in relief for the Diamonds and got the victory, allowing no runs and one hit in four innings, and striking out four. Claxton numbered 15 hits to Sugar Valley's 9 with third baseman Keith Olsen (.328) going 4-for-5 and driving in one. Right fielder Dixie Baker (.328) hit his 17th home run and drove in three runs. Pinchhitter Vern Jennings (.254) tied the game 7-7 in the eighth with his 4th homer this season and sent the game into overtime. Rattler left fielder Cy Bartz (.294) knocked a three-run roundtripper and center fielder Freddie Vaux (.318) had two hits and two RBIs. Claxton led 6-3 after six, but trailed 7-6 after Sugar Valley rallied for four runs in the seventh.

The Sugar Valley Rattlers (23-26) are fifth in the division. They are two percentage points behind fourth place Waleska (24-27). Claxton (23-29) is sixth and last in the RU South race, eight games in back of the top team, the Marston Nine (30-20).
