Ruthlandian Union - South Division

'Jacks Nip Nine with 2 Ninth-Inning HRs 7-6
First place Marston took a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth against second place Forest City, but it didn't last long. Leftfielder Chuck Hill (.360) hit his 16th homer and right fielder Benny Davis (.257) got his 13th for the comeback 7-6 win over the Nine. Although outhit 15-13, the Lumberjacks has the most offensive punch. Center fielder Ryan Morse (.347) and second baseman Jesse Wolf (.309) sparked them with three hits each. Right fielder Chris Deangelo (.298) paced Marston with four hits. Reliever Nick Marceau (1-1 2.50) pulled in the win with a short one-out stint. Ken Bagby (2-3 3.23) was the losing pitcher. He surrendered the two game-deciding roundtrippers.

Marston (31-21) is still on top in the RU South and is three games in front of runner-up Forest City (29-25).

Rattlers Romp Over Sunbirds 8-2
In Sugar Valley, the Rattlers romped over Belair Beach 8-2 at Farmers Memorial Park. Paul Haines (2-3 3.64) got the win with an inning of help from Connie Erlichmann. Haines allowed nine hits and two runs in eight innings of work. Lefty Carl Thompson (8-4 2.04) lost it for the Sunbirds as the Rattlers pummeled him for five runs in the first three innings. Third baseman Jorge Vargas (.339) drove in five runs for Sugar Valley, including a three-run homer, his 12th of the year. Shortstop Flipper Bird (.240) also chipped in three hits and batted in two runs. Right fielder Matty McDermott (.356) led Belair Beach with 4 hits.

The triumph enabled Sugar Valley (25-27) to deadlock Belair Beach (26-28) for the third spot in the division standings.

Westerners Hold Off Claxton 4-3
Waleska only got seven hits in the game, but they made the most of them to beat Claxton 4-3 at Ellie Ewing Stadium. The Westerners took a 4-1 edge into the ninth and just barely escaped with a narrow victory. The Diamonds had 13 hits and wasted most of them. Smokey Joe Carter (8-5 2.80) spun a strong seven innings, giving up seven hits and only one unearned run, while striking out six and walking only one batter. Closer Buddy Kennedy (1-4 4.88) managed to save it, but came very close to blowing the game as he was tagged for two runs in the ninth. Shortstop Joey Giarussa (.182) homered for Waleska and right fielder Charley Williamson (.275) added two hits and two RBIs.

The fifth place Westerners (25-28) are now 6.5 games in back of first place Marston (31-21) and Claxton (24-31) is last, 8.5 games behind.
