A's Blank Redhawks, Robles HR Wins It 1-0
In the opening game of a doubleheader at Sky High Stadium in Far Mountain, the Glasco Athletics won a 1-0 squeaker from the Redhawks on first baseman Francisco Robles' (.287) second-inning home run. Left Jesse Balfour (6-5 2.98) went eight marvelous innings, allowed six hits, struck out 10 and issued only one walk to gain the victory. He exited for reliever Ray Cook (1-2 0.84), who came on after Balfour gave up a lead-off single in the ninth. Cook struck out two of the three batters he faced for his 5th save. John Luzzatti (3-4 2.95) suffered a tough loss, surrendering only one run on three hits in eight innings.

A's Sweep Redhawks, Take Nightcap 8-7
Division runner-up Glasco swept the twinbill from first place Far Mountain, taking two one-run ballgames. The A's outscored the Redhawks 8-7 in the nightcap, socking 14 hits to their 10. Doing the damage for Glasco were second baseman Barry McCord (.296) with three RBIs, right fielder Lee McDougall (.293) with two RBIs and first baeman Francisco Robles (.293) with a pair of RBIs. Center fielder Chet Reynolds (.302) scored three times, while left fielder Jose Valenzuela (.320) scored twice and drove in one run. Lefty Charles Darby (9-4 2.35) got his 9th win this season, but he was roughed up by five runs in seven innings. Closer Ray Cook (1-2 1.31) managed to save it for Darby, in spite giving up two runs in two innings. Cook has now collected six saves. Reliever Vance Mitchell (4-1 3.33) fell for the first time this year. The Athletics rapped him for three runs in his only inning worked. Glasco rallied from a 5-3 deficit and tied it in the seventh. The A's jumped ahead 8-3 in the eighth and held on to win it.

Glasco (31-27) shaved two full games off the Far Mountain (35-26) lead with the sweep and now only trail by 2.5 games in the RU Division.

Vipers Smash All-Stars in Opener 11-2
Valmara walloped 15 hits to back Zarek Zalewski's 7-hit pitching and smashed Elnora 11-2 the first game of a twinbill. It was Zalewski's (8-3 1.81) 8th triumph on the year. The smooth southpaw fanned seven and walked two in a route-going performance. First baseman Yank Jankowski (.308) drove in five runs with a 4-for-5 day, including a pair of two-baggers, and third sacker Scotty Peterson (.306] went 3-for-5 and drove in three runs. Elnora starter and loser Tyrone Gray (3-6 3.98) was roughed up by the Vipers and permitted six runs and nine hits before departing in the seventh behind 6-2.

Vipers Bite Elnora Twice, Sweep Twinbill
The Valmara Vipers put on another fine offensive display in game two and took both ends of the twinbill from last place Elnora. The Vipers rapped out 10 hits in the 7-4 nightcap victory. Center fielder Jan Szymanski (.262) unloaded his 11th and 12th homers of the year to drive in four runs and take over the RBI lead in the Ruthlandian Union with 56. Left fielder Jet Kazmarek (.285) also contributed two hits and two runs scored for the victors. Righthander Todd Turner (6-4 4.11) got credit for the win, going eight innings and allowing four runs and three hits. New All-Star signee, Jim Tarzetti (0-1 12.00) had a rocky first start and was tagged for four runs and four hits in just three frames. Elnora is missing two starters due to injury.

Valmara (32-28) is now third in the RU North standings and just 2.5 games in back of the top club, the Far Mountain Redhawks (35-26). The Vipers are just one percentage point behind the Glasco Athletics (31-27). Elnora (23-39) is in last place and trails the leader by 12.5 games.

Vigilantes Fall to Blasters in Game One 8-3
In the first game of two at Colfax, the homestanding Blasters had two big four-run innings and dumped Volusia 8-3. Flash Guidry (7-5 2.64) went all the way, despite being touched for 11 hits by the Vigilantes. Guidry struck out 9 in the game. Colfax only got six hits, but was given six unearned runs by five errors by the V's. Blasters center fielder Tatsuya Sasaki (.267) powered a two-run roundtripper in the second inning and shortstop Wayne O'Reilly (.213) belted a three-run job in the seventh frame. Portsider Lenny Collins (3-4 2.98) picked up the loss, but only gave up two earned runs in seven innings of work.

V's Split with Blasters, Takes Game Two 8-6
In the nightcap, Volusia was held in check for the first six innings and trailed Colfax 4-1. Then they mounted an impressive comeback against the Blasters relief corps to win in 10 innings 8-6 and divide the doubleheader. Both clubs collected 10 hits each with the Vigilantes big gun, left fielder Jesus Arroyo (.271), driving in three runs with three hits, including his 5th homer. Shortstop Scooter Perez (.362) added two hits and two RBIs. Colfax shortstop Josh Jackson (.265) went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs and right fielder Pat Lott (.260) had two hits and two RBIs. Reliever Brian King (1-0 3.29) pitched a scoreless ninth with two Ks for the win with save help from Augie Giertych (0-1 4.35). He got his first save of the season, but had to sweat out a bases-loaded situation. Manager Clem Rogers couldn't get any help from the bullpen, but did get a fine start out of Harry Manning. He held Volusia to three hits and a run in the first six frames. However, it was a different story when Manning left the game. Walt Sellers (1-4 2.88) blew a save in the two-run ninth and losing pitcher Pat Langlais (0-4 4.94) blew the game in the two-run tenth.

Colfax (31-29) is third in the division and trails first place Far Mountain (35-26) by 3.5 games. Volusia (29-32) is fifth and six games out.
