Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Ledbetter Wins 11th for Marston
In a single game, a four-run first inning made it easy for the first place Marston Nine to win their fifth game in a row, an 8-3 victory over last place Belair Beach. It was the Sunbirds fourth straight defeat. Casey Ledbetter and Milt Wilson combined on a 7-hitter. Ledbetter (11-2 3.42) went six and two-thirds innings and got his 11th win, the most in the IPA. He allowed three runs on six hits, fanned three and issued one walk. Wilson struck out three in his two-plus scoreless innings. Lefthander Carl Thompson (8-8 2.79) dropped his fifth consecutive game, giving up four runs and four hits in two innings. He was troubled by four walks. Shortstop Don Nichols (.281) drove in five runs for the Nine, first baseman Chuck Barrett (.286) batted in two and third baseman Roland Thomas (.341) had the other RBI.

Marston is the RU South leader with a 39-26 mark, while Belair Beach is in the basement with a 28-39 record, 12 games behind.

'Jacks Slam Rattlers 11-6 in Opener
Second place Forest City slammed 17 hits including three roundtrippers to outscore Sugar Valley 11-6 in the first of two games today at Farmers Memorial Park. Right fielder Benny Davis, center fielder Ryan Morse and reliever J. D. Gisclair hit the home runs. Davis (.235) had three hits and four RBIs, shortstop Pops Keller (.306) was 4-6 with a pair of RBIs and Chuck Hill (.351) drove in one. Morse went 5-6, scored four times and batted in one run. Vinny Edelman (6-5 3.10) got the win with seven innings of work. He allowed four runs and ten hits. Gisclair (0-0 9.00) finished the last two innings and gave up the other two scores. Harvey Hines (6-5 4.34) suffered the loss, giving up five runs in just two and two-thirds innings. The Rattlers swatted 13 hits and were led at bat by third baseman Jorge Vargas ((.342) with his 16th homer, shortstop Flipper Bird (.268) with three hits and his 5th home run and center fielder Freddie Vaux (.332) with four hits, two runs and an RBI.

FC's Bahr Tosses Two-Hit Shutout in Nightcap
The Forest City Lumberjacks were on the road, but it made no difference, they swept both ends of the doubleheader against the Sugar Valley Rattlers, ringing us an easy 9-0 victory in the nightcap. Lefthander Herm Bahr (8-4 3.30) was magnificent as he stopped the Rattlers on just two hits, racking up six Ks and issuing just one base on balls for his third win in succession and 8th on the year. Second baseman Rudi Oliver (.341) singled in the fourth and left fielder Cy Bartz (.276) doubled in the eighth for the only hits off Bahr. Nickie Lynn (1-4 6.10) continued to struggle and caught another loss, surrendering seven runs and 14 hits in only five innings. The Lumberjacks hit three more homers, giving them an IPA high of 97 this season. They also belted 20 hits, giving them 37 in the twinbill. Shortstop Pops Keller (.311), third baseman Jesse Pearson (.275) and first baseman J. T. Edmonds (.242) collected home runs. Edmonds had four hits and three RBIs and Keller was 3-6 with three runs batted in.

The double win enabled second play Forest City (37-31) to chop a half-game off of first place Marston's (39-26) lead. They now trail the Nine by 3.5 games. The Rattlers (33-33) fell to 6.5 games off the pace.

Diamonds Defeat Westerners 5-4 in 11
In another single contest, utility outfielder Dan Molnar of Claxton had quite a game. He cracked a three-run homer in the ninth to tie the game and then he won it with an infield hit in the eleventh to edge Waleska 5-4. Molnar (.231) went 2-5 and drove in four runs to pace the Diamonds. Westerner starter Gary Hill (6-4 4.67) was protecting a 4-1 lead and had surrendered only two hits entering the ninth. Then Molnar stepped to the plate and sent the game into extra innings. Dennis Scott (7-6 4.29), a former starter, now turned closer, worked a very strong three innings, yielding only one hit and no runs with five strikeouts to get credit for the win. The loss went to Adrian Marsiske (3-2 2.78), who was tagged for one run and three hits in one and two-thirds innings. Waleska took a four-run advantage in the opening frame, highlighted by a three-run homer by left fielder Milt Carlson (.242). But the Westerners were blanked for the next ten innings by starter Alex Vanzetti (two innings) and relievers Pete Castellani (three innings), Chris Jauvert (two innings) and Scott (three innings).

With the defeat Waleska (33-33) fell back into a tie for third place with Sugar Valley (33-33). Both clubs are 6.5 games behind in the division standings. Claxton (30-38) is in the fifth spot and are 10.5 games out.
