Tycobbian Union - West Division

Manetti Manhandles Frogs 8-0, Fires 3-Hitter
Blue Lake had everything its way today at the Frog Pond in Fairfax. They manhandled the Frogs 8-0 on Derek Manetti's 3-hitter. Manetti (4-5 4.04) cruised to his first shutout of the year, striking out one and walking one in a very sharp outing. Manager Cobb Tyson's ballclub also hit the ball with authority against one of the better pitchers in the IPA. They ripped loser Jackie Leslie (11-5 3.43) for 12 of their 16 hits and scored seven runs on him in seven innings. Leading the way for the Blue Sox was second baseman Ken Bennett (.271) with four hits, three runs, two RBIs and his 12th home run. Right fielder Doyle Osborne (.381) had two hits, scored twice, tripled and drove in a run and third baseman Ryan Gibson (.190) smacked two hits and drove in a pair.

Fairfax (51-37) skippered by Harry Buckley has a 14.5-game lead over fifth place Blue Lake (36-41).

Yaden Hurls Bucs to 3rd Win in a Row
Bay St. Clair manager Guy Rondre, a pretty fair pitcher himself a few years ago, may have found a new starter in little 19-year-old Don Yaden. Yaden only stands 5'7" and weighs in at only 150 pounds, but he can throw the heck out of a baseball - 95 mph. In his first start of the season Yaden beat the hard-swinging Bayview Vikings 7-2, allowing 10 hits, but only two runs. It was the Bucs third successive triumph. Yaden, a recent roster addition, fanned four and walked four. Jerry Harrison (9-5 3.32) took the loss, going six innings and allowing four runs on five hits. He is now 2-2 since being traded from South Fork. Topping the Buccaneers at bat was shortstop Chuck Hankins (.316) with two homers and four RBIs. Hankins has hit 10 so far this year. Left fielder Charley Moon (.270) added three hits and scored three times.

Bayview (43-37) is the runner-up in the Tycobbian Union West and trails the top club, Fairfax (51-27) by a wide margin, 9 games. Bay St. Clair (30-49) is 21.5 games off the pace and in last place.

Orlando Too Tough for Champs
At Derby Downs in Arlon, Kimo Orlando of the La Claire Lynx was too tough for the hometown Champions, beating them 4-1. Orlando (3-1 2.48), activated about 10 days ago, went the distance, stopped Arlon on five hits, fanned five and walked nobody. The only run he allowed was a homer by right fielder Ian Carmack (.294) in the eighth. Leading the Lynx hitters were shortstop Dirk Lindahl (.293) with a two-run triple in the fifth for the first runs of the game, center fielder Lucky Collins (.304) with an RBI single in the fifth and second baseman Darreill Boyce (.253) with an RBI grounder in the sixth. Ace Howe (7-7 2.95) suffered the defeat. In six innings he permitted four runs and five hits with five Ks and two BBs.

La Claire (38-40) moved in front of Arlon (37-41) by a game for third place in the TU West, 13 games out of first.
