Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Bomb Bayview Again
Fairfax did it again! The first place Frogs bombed second place Bayview 13-2 for their third straight win and the Vikings fifth loss in a row. Fairfax has taken both games of the five-game series so far, winning the opener yesterday 7-0. The Frogs got only 9 hits, but they certainly did some damage with them. They tore into Paul Hood (3-3 2.92) for six runs in the third inning and never looked back. Backup center fielder Louie Ward (.338) in a rare start had two hits and four RBIs, left fielder Gator Davis (.298) got his 15th homer, good for three runs and right fielder Gregg Vincent (.324) drove in a pair with his 25th of the season. Vincent took over the home run lead in the TU and tied Bayview's Doug Coleman for the most RBIs with 69. Coleman has 24 roundtrippers.

Manager Harry Buckley also got a strong performance from lefthander Jimmy Dalton (7-5 4.39), who gave up nine hits, but only two runs. Dalton had six strikouts with only one walk.

Fairfax (44-20) increased its lead over Bayview (34-32) to 11 games.

Bucs Blank Lynx 1-0 in 13 Innings
Noted for their hitting, the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers did a change of pace and blanked the La Claire Lynx 1-0 in 13 innings at Shoreline Park. Manager Guy Rondre used three new pitchers that just joined the club to stop La Claire on seven hits. The game was finally decided when third baseman Bobby Tracy (.313) tripled off Monoto Kishata to lead off the 13th and then scored the winning run on pinchhitter Stan Denton's (.216) grounder to short. Dirk Lindahl threw home late in an attempt to get Tracy.

The Bucs starting pitcher was Duncan McFalls (4-0 1.84), who was just obtained in a blockbuster trade with Glasco along with Jeremiah McDonald (1-2 3.22). McFalls worked nine scoreless innings, fanned five, walked two and yielded only five hits. He was relieved by McDonald, who pitched the tenth and the eleventh and allowed no runs and a hit. The third newcomer was Chris Van Arden (1-0 0.00), who was just signed. Van Arden sat down the Lynx on one hit and no runs in the last two innings for the win. He had two strikeouts and a walk. The trade is already paying dividends for Bay St. Clair.

La Claire got a strong performance from starter Pat Daniels (6-2 4.07). Daniels pitched a splendid nine innings, limiting the Buccaneers to just three hit with three Ks and no walks. Kishata (3-5 3.19) caught the loss, allowing one run and four hits over three innings.

The Lynx (33-32) loss kept them in third place and 11.5 games behind Fairfax (44-20) and and a half game behind the Bayview Vikings (34-32).

Champs Crush Blue Sox 8-1, Howe Winner
On its home field at Derby Downs, Arlon raced past Blue Lake 8-1 on the strength of Ace Howe's five-hit pitching and halted the Blue Sox win string at four. The Champions busted open a tight 2-1 game with two runs in the seventh and four more in the eighth. Howe (5-6 2.78) walked one and fanned nine batters in an impressive outing. Left fielder Matt Merrill (.313) led the hitters with three RBIs and two homers, giving him 13 for the season. Right fielder Ian Carmack (.500) made his debut for Arlon and hit a three-run blast and a double. The Champs only had seven hits, but the three roundtrippers made the difference. Losing pitcher Ray Davini (0-1 5.14), in his first start since being added to the Blue Lake roster, struck out nine over seven innings, allowed four runs, five hits and walked three. Evan Cooney got clobbered for four runs in his only inning. He is also a recent pickup by the Blue Sox.

Arlon (31-34) remained in the fourth spot in the Tycobbian West Division standings, while Blue Lake (28-36) is fifth and 16 games back.
