Tyrobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Davis Homers to Beat Bucs 4-2 in 10 Innings
Fairfax's Gator Davis only had one hit in the game, but it was a good one -- a two-run walk-off home run to give the Frogs a 4-2 victory over last place Bay St. Clair. It was Davis' (.308) 13th roundtripper on the season. It came off losing pitcher Johnny Nikolsky (3-5 5.52). Picking up the win was closer Takehide Takahashi (5-1 1.49), who blew the save in the ninth by allowing the Buccaneers to tie the score. Starters Jackie Leslie (10-2 3.19) for the Frogs and Sean Lawrence (2-6 4.07) for the Bucs battled hard for seven innings. Lawrence left after seven trailing 2-0 after giving up five hits and both runs. Leslie made it into the ninth, but didn't get his 11th win. He allowed only four hits and one run. Fairfax held the hard-hitting Bucs to just five hits, while getting eight hits themselves.

Fairfax leads the TU West Division with a very impressive 40-18 record, the best in the IPA. The Bay St. Clair Buccaneers (22-38) are in last place and have the worst record in the IPA.

Orgeron's Homer Winner for Blue Sox over Viks
At Harbor Stadium in Blue Lake, shortstop Cy Orgeron (.250) cracked a game-winning solo homer in the seventh inning of reliever Mike Jardoin (3-4 6.60) to give the Blue Sox a 5-4 victory over the second place Bayview Vikings. But it took some serious relief pitching by Russ Courtney to nail down the verdict in the ninth. A single, stolen base and wild throw placed the tying run on third with only one out. Courtney rose to the occasion and got a ground out with the infield drawn in and then retired the next batter on a grounder to save the game. It was Courtney's (3-2 3.82) 5th save of the season. Both clubs banged out 9 hits each. Vikings Shortstop Shorty Richards (.261) and first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.306) each hammered two-run homers. It was Richards' 6th and Coleman's 23rd and tied him with Greg Vincent (.319) of Fairfax and Nicky Swift (.348) of Belair Beach for the most homers in IPA circles.

Bayview's defeat dropped its mark to 33-27. The Vikings are now eight games behind Fairfax (40-18). Blue Lake (24-34) is fifth and 16 games out of first place.

Champs in 6-4 Comeback Win Over Lynx
Longball power made the difference in Arlon's 6-4 ten-inning triumph over the La Claire Lynx. The Champions had the only homers in the game and they came at critical spots. Left fielder Matt Merrill (.317) hit a three-run salvo in the seventh to put them ahead 4-3 and then in the top of the tenth, first baseman George Lyons (.231) led off the inning with a solo shot to make it 5-4. Reliever Jeff Nieman (.200) added an insurance run with a double later in the inning. Nieman (6-2 1.34) worked three scoreless innings for the victory, permitting just one hit and one unearned run, while striking out four. Nick Baumgartner (3-6 4.02) sustained the loss giving up two runs in two innings. Second baseman Karl Detwiler (.324) and shortstop Bama Hartley (.286) sparked Arlon's 14-hit offense with three hits apiece. Shortstop Dirk Lindahl (.294) had two hits and scored three times for the Lynx and right fielder Manny Paulauskas (.236) socked three hits and batted in one run. La Claire had 10 hits in the game.

The Arlon Champions and La Claire Lynx are tied for third place in the TU West race with 29-30 marks and are 11.5 games behind in the standings.
