Ruthlandian Union - North Division

A's Romp Over Redhawks 12-5 for 4th Straight Win
Second place Glasco romped over first place Far Mountain 12-5 for its fourth straight victory. The Athletics blasted 15 hits in sending the Redhawks to a third consecutive defeat. Left fielder Ox Beauvais (.356), first baseman Francisco Robles (.281) and shortstop Kyle Ballentine (.277) all had three hits to lead the A's cause. Ballentine had the only homer in the game. Jesse Balfour (5-5 3.26) pitched well, striking out ten and holding Far Mountain to four runs before tiring and departing in the eighth. The loser was John Luzzatti (3-3 3.14), who was ripped hard for six runs -- three earned -- and left in the third inning. Catcher Dave Davis (.357) went 2-for-4 with a two-run double to pace the Redhawks.

Glasco (28-25) is red-hot and is now within 3.5 games of the RU North lead. Far Mountain (33-23) heads the division.

Zalewski Downs Colfax Blasters 6-2
It's a virtual three-way tie for second place in the RU North race with only a percentage point separating second place Glasco from the third place teams, Valmara and Colfax. The Vipers, with their tough lefthander Zarek Zalewski (7-3 1.79) on the hill, zipped by the Blasters 6-2. Zalewski hurled seven strong innings, surrendered six hits and one unearned run, while fanning five and walking only one. He has the best ERA in the IPA. Closer Danny Blauser (5-1 1.88) finished the game and allowed one run in two innings. Flash Guidry (6-5 2.78) left after seven frames trailing 5-1 and got credit for the defeat. Both clubs notched 8 hits each.

Glasco (28-25) is now the runner-up to first place Far Mountain (33-23) with Colfax (29-26) and Valmara (29-26) right on their shirttails. All of them are 3.5 games out.

Elnora's Gray Throws Shutout
Elnora righthander Tyrone Gray (3-5 3.79) pitched a whale of a ballgame in blanking Volusia 2-0 at State Fair Park. He limited them to seven base hits, struck out nine and issued only one base on balls. It was Gray's second shutout this season. Left fielder Quincy Peterson (.291) was the difference as he jacked a two-run roundtripper in the sixth inning for the game's only scores. It was homer number 7 this season for Peterson. Lefty Lenny Collins (3-3 3.03) suffered a tough loss as he fanned nine All-Stars and went the distance, giving up 11 hits and walking four.

Volusia (26-30) is fifth in the standings and seven games in back of the leading Redhawks (33-23), while Elnora 21-36) is deep in the basement.
