Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Redhawks Slip Past All-Stars 4-3
At State Fair Park in Elnora, the first place Far Mountain Redhawks slipped past last place Elnora 4-3. Righthander Vic Vaux (7-5 3.53) tossed a solid game, yielding seven hits and three runs in eight-plus innings with six strikeouts and three walks. He exited with one out and the tying run on first in the ninth. Doc Rutledge (6-1 2.15) came in and walked two to load the bases, but he got out of it and picked up his 9th save. The Redhawks only got nine singles, but it was enough. Catcher Dave Davis (.380) and center fielder Hawk Gallagher (.322) each had three hits and right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.285) drove in two runs. The All-Stars were paced by first baseman Will Jackson (.239) with two hits, a double and a two-run homer, number 7 for the season. Catching the loss was Tyrone Gray (4-7 4.23), who surrendered seven hits and four runs, just two earned, in five innings.

Far Mountain (42-28) leads Elnora by 15 games and is on top of the Ruthlandian Union North Division. The All-Stars are way down in the division cellar.

Blasters Win 7th, A's Lose 8th
Colfax continued its winning ways with its 7th straight triumph. The Blasters edged Glasco 6-5 to send the A's to their 8th loss in a row. They pecked their way back from a 5-1 fifth-inning deficit, scoring the winning run in the eighth on Wayne O'Reilly's two-out double that scored pitcher Vic Jankovich (1.000), who had singled. Jankovich (2-0 0.00) notched his 2nd win, hurling two scoreless innings with three Ks. Closer Walt Sellers (2-4 2.42) pitched a perfect ninth for his 8th save. Jerry Smith (7-8 4.16) was the loser and went the distance, allowing 13 hits. Shortstop O'Reilly (.232) had three hits for Colfax, including a double and his 10th home run, scored twice and drove in two. Right fielder Pat Lott (.275) was 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of RBIs and left fielder Blinky Brandon (.299) went 3-for-4, scored one and drove in one. The Athletics top hitters were shortstop Kyle Ballentine (.304) with three hits and two RBIs and center fielder Chet Reynolds (.295) with 2-for-5 and two runs driven in.

The Colfax Blasters (39-30) are runner-up to first place Far Mountain (42-28) and are 2.5 games off the pace, while the Glasco A's (32-35) are tied for fourth place with the Valmara Vipers and trail by 8.5 games.

Vigilantes Maul Vipers 10-5 for 3rd Straight
The pitching woes are getting worse for Valmara manager J. Jackson Samuel. Volusia smashed 17 hits, including a new IPA record of 8 doubles in the 10-5 shellacking at the Jailhouse. The Vigilantes bats were led by right fielder Jesus Arroyo (.289) with three hits and three RBIs, left fielder Winky Rush (.281) with three hits and two runs batted in and first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.299) with a pair of hits and two runs batted in. Shortstop Scooter Perez (.371) added in 4-5 and two runs scored. Raul Sandoval (7-7 3.14) had a shutout for six innings and weakened in the late innings. He permitted nine hits in all, struck out six and issued a couple of walks. Gerry Bart (4-8 6.11) lasted only two-plus innings and gave up five runs on eight hits for the loss.

The V's 8 doubles broke the old mark of 7 held by by three teams: Marston, Hartsdale and Claxton. Volusia (8) and Valmara (2) totaled 10 together to set a new IPA record for a regulation game. Forest City (6) and Claxton (4) have the record for the most in an extra-inning game. They had 10 in Claxton 6-5 fourteen-inning victory on May 21.

The Volusia Vigilantes (34-35) are now third in the division, 7.5 games back of Far Mountain (42-28). The Valmara Vipers (33-36) are tied with Glasco (32-35) for fourth place and are 8.5 games behind.
