Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Hayagawa Stops Lynx on 3-hits 4-1
Working the corners with great movement, Fairfax junkballer Kaz Hayagawa mesmerized La Claire 4-1 on a masterful 3-hitter. Hayagawa (8-8 3.72) went the distance, struck out seven and walked two. Second baseman Greg Inman (.285) and first baseman Ernie Hutchinson (.275) led the first place Frogs to victory with two RBIs each. Hutchinson got his on a two-run homer in the eighth, Inman with singles in the second and seventh. Left fielder Gator Davis had two hits and scored twice for Fairfax. It was quite a duel between Hayagawa and Pat Daniels with a 1-1 tie after six innings. Daniels (6-3 4.45) was tagged with loss as he went eight innings, surrendered four runs and nine hits.

Fairfax (48-25) is the number one team in the Tycobbian Union West Division and leads third place La Claire by 12 games.

Champs Snap Viks 8-game win string 5-4
The Bayview Vikings battled hard, but came up one run short in their quest for an IPA-tying 9th consecutive victory. They were derailed by Ace Howe and the Arlon Champions 5-4. They went into the last of the ninth down 5-2, narrowed it to one run and had the tying run on second with two outs. The streak ended when closer Jeff Nieman (6-5 1.53) struck out right fielder Dean Howell (.293) for the last out of the game to get his 4th save. Howe (7-6 2.87) tossed a solid game until he weakened with two outs in the the ninth. He allowed four runs and eight hits for the win. Offensively the Champs got all of their runs in the 5-run fourth. In the inning shortstop Bama Hartley (.259) and left fielder Kris Gervais (.250) rapped two-run homers and right fielder Kenny Michaud (.333) smacked an RBI double. Jesus Carvajal (9-4 3.72) was victimized by four unearned runs in the inning and caught the loss. Arlon only got one hit the remainder of the game as Charley Andrews (5-4 5.00) and Tony Vardaman (0-0 2.25) turned in impressive relief jobs. Second baseman Alan Hansen (.381), the TU-leading batter, had two doubles in five at-bats and drove in a pair of runs for Bayview.

The second place Vikings (42-33) lost a game to first place Fairfax (48-25) in the TU West race and now are 7 games off the pace. Arlon (34-39) is 14 games behind the Frogs.

Blue Sox Survive Bucs Rally, Win 4th In a Row
After seven innings the Blue Lake Blue Sox were comfortably on the way to a fourth straight triumph with a 10-4 lead. But the Bay St. Claire Buccaneers made it tough on them with a run in the eighth and four in the ninth, finally losing 10-8. For the Bucs it was the 6th loss in a row. Both teams had potent offenses today with 11 hits each. Blue Sox first baseman Fred Taranto (.326) went 3-4 with two RBIs and scored three times, right fielder Fred Collins (.287) got his 7th home run, was 2-5, scored two and drove in two and left fielder Greg Boone (.299) had 2-3, scored twice and had an RBI. The Buccaneers had plenty of firepower, too, with three roundtrippers. Left fielder Charley Moon (.270) had a grand slam in the ninth and scored twice, Jose Valenzuela (.307) had a two-run job and Tony Mann (.342) a solo homer, both in the fourth inning. Taking the fall was Duncan McFalls (4-2 2.67), who was roasted for six runs in the first two frames. Bay St. Clair committed three errors and gave up three unearned runs. Clint McPherson (2-3 4.53) got credit for the win, although he was pounded for eight runs in eight and two-thirds innings. Closer Russ Courtney (5-2 3.13) registered his 8th save by striking out the last batter in the game.

Blue Lake (34-38) is fourth in the standings, 13.5 games in back of the division leader, while the Buccaneers (26-48) are deep in the basement and 22.5 game out.
