Redhawks Romp to 4th Win in a Row
First place Far Mountain romped over Valmara to pick up its fourth win in a row. The Redhawks staked Vic Vaux to a 12-3 lead in the first five innings and coasted in from there, winning 12-7. Vaux (6-5 3.55) was whacked for 15 hits. He walked none and had three strikeouts. Gerry Bart (4-7 5.75) was shelled in the first two innings for seven runs and took the loss. Far Mountain had a dozen hits and were sparked by home runs by third Johnny Strickland (.293) and left fielder Gerald Davis (.250), Davis hit his 7th and drove in three runs and Strickland slammed his 11th and drove a run. Right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.298) drove in two runs, first baseman Royce Benson (.297) had three hits and scored twice, catcher Dave Davis (.377) was 3-for-5 and plated two runs and center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.315) went 2-for-3 and scored three times. The batting leaders for the Vipers were center fielder Jan Szymanski (.248) with four RBIs and his 14th homer and catcher Yoshi Motsuzaka (.283) with 3-for-5 and two runs. Szymanski jumped ahead of Belair Beach's Nicky Swift (.331) in the RBI race. Szymanski has 63 and Swift 62.

Far Mountain (39-27) has captured the first three games of the series with Valmara (33-32) and has moved 5.5 games in front of them. The series will conclude with a twinbill tomorrow.

Blasters Win 4th, A's Drop 3rd Straight
The Colfax Blasters won their fourth straight game and dealt Glasco a third straight defeat 5-4 in 11 innings. Pinchhitter Dennis Cole (.309) got the game-winning hit when he doubled in shortstop Wayne O'Reilly in from third. Walt Sellers (2-4 2.58) registered the victory and allowed only one hit in three innings with three Ks and three walks. Ray Cook (1-3 1.63) was nailed with the loss, yielding three hits in two innings. The Blasters laced 14 hits with Reilly going 3-5, including a home run, his 5th of the season. Reilly also scored three times. First baseman Al Jensen (.250) had two hits, two RBIs and his first roundtripper. The Athletics only got 7 hits in the game.

Second place Colfax (35-30) got a little breathing room between them and Glasco (32-31). The A's are tied with Valmara (33-32) for the third spot in the RU North. The Blasters are 3.5 games in back of Far Mountains (39-27), while Glasco and the Vipers are 5.5 games off the pace.

All-Stars 7 runs in the 4th Too Much for V's
The Jailhouse fans were not very happy after their Volusia Vigilantes were beaten 7-4 by Elnora. The V's leaped ahead 3-0 in the third, but gave it right back when the All-Stars erupted for 7 runs in the fourth, highlighted by left fielder Quincy Peterson's (.296) grand slammer. Right fielder Art Atkins (.330) also drove in two runs. Volusia outhit Elnora 13 to 11. The winner was Pat Savoie (3-0 2.58), but it wasn't pretty. Savoie struck out 8, but allowed 11 hits and walked three until he left in the seventh. Lefty John Tinker (3-8 4.69) wrapped the game up for him, holding the Vigilantes scoreless in two-plus innings. Tinker had two walks and permitted two hits. Volusia had plenty of chances as center fielder Alex Luna (.258) and third baseman Chaco Rivera (.243) both had three hits and three others smacked a pair apiece. The losing pitcher was Kit Kivett (5-3 2.70), who has come back down to earth after winning his first five starts. Kivett has dropped the last three game. He was racked for seven hits and seven runs and exited in the fourth, trailing 7-4.

Last place Elnora (26-41) has won two in succession from the V's (31-35), who are in 5th place and 9.5 games behind Far Mountain (39-27).
