Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ninjas Win 6-5 on Wild Pitch
In Ginza, the first place Ninjas overcame a 5-3 Hartsdale lead after seven innings to pull out a 6-5 decision. Ginza tied the score at 5-5 in the eighth on Ronnie Graf's (.281) two-run homer and won in the ninth on a wild pitch. Center fielder Takashi Fujimoto (.291) led off the inning with a walk, stole second, moved to third on a ground out, then tallied the winning run when Hellcat closer Gene Young threw it past the catcher. The victory went to their new knuckleballer, Knucks Nomellini (1-0 0.00), who sat down the Hellcats in order in his two innings. At the plate the Ninjas were outhit 12 to 9 by Hartsdale. Catcher Katsuya Noguchi (.322) had a perfect 4-for-4 day with two doubles and two runs scored and second baseman Scoop McDonald (.261) went 2-for-5 and drove in a pair of runs. The Hellcats were paced by right fielder Mel Poe (.267) with a two-run homer, his 10th this season, and second baseman Francisco Abreu (.308) with two hits, including his 17th home run. The loss went to Young (4-4 3.23). He pitched one and a third innings, gave up two hits and two runs.

It was Ginza's (41-30) fourth triumph in a row and Hartsdale's (31-40) fifth straight loss. The Hellcats are in last place, 10 games in back of the Ninjas.

CC Defeats Luxora 7-4
He wasn't at his sharpest, but Katsuyuki Nagashima had enough to defeat the Luxora Zorros 7-4 in a game played at Seaside Stadium in Cape Coral. Nagashima (6-6 2.62) went the route and tamed the Z's on seven hits, seven Ks and two walks. The only player that gave him trouble was first baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.324), who whacked him for a double, homer and three RBIs. The Hurricanes were led by center fielder James Middleton (.315), who lashed a three-run homer in the sixth to give them a 7-2 lead. Left fielder Rod Kelly (.313) had homered earlier in the third to make the score 3-0. It was Kelly's 13th this year. Right fielder Danny Mullins (.336) continued to swing a hot bat and batted in a run, along with shortstop Bobo Hatfield (.254), who chipped in another RBI and a pair of hits. The losing pitcher was Johnny Montel (6-8 3.15). He was raked for seven runs and nine hits in five-plus innings, but only three were earned as the Z's committed three errors.

The second place 'Canes are hanging close to first place Ginza (41-30), just 3 games back. Luxora (32-37) is 8 games out and in the fifth spot in the division standings.

Stallions Slaughter Nats 10-0 Behind Battle
Righthander Flint Battle was almost invincible against Ozarka. He limited the Nats to just two hits as his South Fork Stallions slaughtered them 10-0 and gained a tie with them for third place. The Stallions mounted a 14-hit attack that was sparked by right fielder Paul Giles with his 18th homer, three hits and two RBIs, shortstop Bobby Riley (.261) with 2-4 and two RBIs and catcher Darryl Burnett (.253), who batted in a pair of runs. Third baseman Glenn Holliday also added two hits, three runs and his 13th roundtripper this season. Battle (10-6 2.34) hurled a splendid game, walking only one and striking out six in his first shutout this year. He is now 10-6 with 9 complete games. Shortstop Gil Lantz (.233) got the only two hits in the game for Ozarka, a double in the second and a single in the eighth. Starter Tony Didriksen (6-7 3.88) caught the loss, yielding four runs and seven hits in five innings with only two of them earned. The Naturals had three errors.

It was South Fork's (35-36) fourth successive victory and moved them up into a third place tie with Ozarka (35-36), who have dropped three games in a row. The Nats and the Stallions are both 6 games off the pace of the first place Ginza Ninjas in the Tycobbian Union East.
