Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Redhawks Squeeze by Vipers 5-4
First place Far Mountain squeezed out a close 5-4 win over the Valmara Vipers, scoring the winning run on an error by right fielder Jet Kazmarek, who dropped a routine fly ball. That gave the the Redhawks their third win in a row. 6'6" Frank Lamoreaux (5-1 4.03) fired a gutsy game, allowing 11 hits, but striking out 8 and walking only one for the victory. He was backed by 10 hits by his teammates, led by second baseman Shirai Kobayashi (.280) and catcher Sean Larson (.286), who each had 2 RBIs. Kobayashi had three hits, while center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.310) had four hits and scored three times. Gallagher singled, stole second and scored the winning run. The loss went to closer Danny Blauser (5-2 1.75). He gave up one unearned run and two hits after coming in to start the eighth inning. Catcher Yoshi Motsuzuki (.277) had a two-run homer to pace the Vipers.

Far Mountain (38-27) is now 4.5 games ahead of Valmara in the Ruthlandian Union North.

Colfax Clobbers Glasco 8-2, Manning Wins 9th
Colfax clobbered Glasco 8-2 behind Harry Manning and took a game lead in the battle for second place in the RU North. Manning notched his 9th victory by checking the A's on seven hits. It was Glasco's third successive defeat. They are now tied with Valmara for third place. Leading by a 3-0 score, the Blasters broke open the game with a five-run outburst in the top of the eighth, highlighted by by a three-run rip by right fielder Pat Lott (.268) and catcher Jeff Cook's (.242) two-run smash. Charles Darby (9-5 2.71) gave up seven runs in seven-plus innings for the loss.

The much-ballyhooed first baseman Maury Smith (.369) was 2-for-4 and scored a run in his first game for Glasco. He was traded to the A's for four players yesterday. Smith told BNN, "Only the uniform has changed. It is my job to just go up there and swing the bat and play baseball. We just ran into a good pitcher."

Colfax (34-30) trails first place Far Mountain (38-27) by 3.5 games, while Glasco and Valmara are 4.5 games behind.

All-Stars Hold Off V's 8-7
The Elnora All-Stars rapped out 14 hits and held on to defeat Volusia 8-7 on the road at the Jailhouse. Newcomer Joe Norris (.250) drove in two runs in his first game at shortstop and cleanup hitter Quincy Peterson had three hits and a pair of RBIs. The Vigilantes moved ahead 3-0 in the second frame on third baseman Bennie Anderson's (.230) base-clearing triple, but Elnora tied it 3-3 in the next inning and went up 7-3 in the seventh, then had to survive a three-run surge in the ninth. Tyrone Gray (4-6 4.25) allowed seven runs in eight-plus innings. Wally Tidwell (2-4 3.89) got the last two outs for his 2nd save. Starter Raul Sandoval (6-7 3.15) suffered the loss and was routed in the seventh after giving up seven runs on a dozen hits. Only one homer in the game. That was by V's second sacker Chaco Rivera (.232), only his 2nd of the season.

Elnora (25-41) snapped a two-game loss string and ended Volusia's (31-34) two-game win streak. The Vigilantes are fifth in the standings, seven games out, while the All-Stars are 13.5 games behind in last place.
