Tycobbian Union - East Division

Hurricanes Halt Naturals 8-3
The tight TU East race just got a little tighter as third place Cape Coral knocked off first place Ozarka 8-3. The Hurricanes closed the gap to just two games with their fourth win in a row. Winner Kaz Hayakawa (5-7 4.44) tossed seven innings and held the Nats to five hits and three runs with six strikeouts and only one walk. Reliever Gary Fountain (4-2 4.89) shut them down with no runs the last two frames. Cape Coral outgunned Ozarka 10-6 and were led by left fielder Rod Kelly (.324) with three hits, two runs and an RBI, New signee, center fielder Claude Kershaw (.500) had two hits and two RBIs in his first game, right fielder Billy Abbott (.262) scored four times and had two hits, and first baseman Rodger Wooten (.304) batted in a pair of scores. Center fielder Teddy Braun (.291) had a two-run homer for the Naturals, his 5th of the season. Losing pitcher Luther Hatch (7-5 3.46) had a terrible game and was racked for eight runs before being kayoed in the eighth.

Ozarka (29-24) is now 1.5 games up on second place Ginza (28-26) and two games ahead of Cape Coral (27-26).

Stallions Move Up with 6-1 Win Over Ninjas
The Ginza Ninjas lost a golden opportunity to get within a half-game of the top spot in the TU East Division by succumbing 6-1 to the fourth place South Fork Stallions. Righthander Ken Olson (5-5 2.96) continued to give solid performances. He fanned six, walked one and checked the Ninjas on one run and nine hits. Third baseman Glenn Holliday (.221) and first baseman Alex Kesler (.233) led the well-balanced Stallion lineup with two hits apiece. Kazuhiro Nakayama (5-8 3.06) suffered the setback. He lasted only into the sixth and was rapped for five runs and seven hits. The top hitter for Ginza was catcher Toshiro Nomura (.306), who was 3-for-3.

South Fork (27-27) has now risen to fourth place, only 2.5 games off the pace. Ginza is second and 1.5 games behind the top club, the Ozarka Naturals (29-24).

Hellcats Top Zorros in 15-Innings 8-4
At De la Vega Stadium in Luxora, the Hartsdale Hellcats outlasted the Zorros 8-4 in 15 innings. First baseman Walt Long doubled in the winning run off losing pitcher Andy Stevens (2-2 3.78). Jackie Bond (2-1 4.46) claimed the victory with three scoreless innings. Long (.244) sparked the Hellcats with 3-for-7, scored twice and had two RBIs. Left fielder Jay Luna (.284) was 2-for-7, batted in two and scored once for the victors, while catcher Eric Richter (.366) and first baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.333) each went 4-for-7 for Luxora. The two ballclubs swatted 32 hits in all with the Z's getting 17 of them, the Hellcats 15.

Hartsdale tied an IPA mark for most double plays in an extra-inning game with four. Far Mountain turned four on May 18 in a 14-inning loss to Colfax. Four is also the best mark for a regulation game and is held by the Arlon Champions, who set the record in a 4-1 win over Bay St. Clair on May 29.

The Hellcats (24-29) may be in last place, but they trail Ozarka 929-24) by only five games, while Luxora (24-27) is just four games out in fifth place.
