Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Set IPA Mark, 10th Straight Loss
The Fairfax Frogs are the new IPA record holder for the most consecutive losses. Arlon's Connie Gavagan shut them out 1-0 at Derby Downs to give them their 10th straight defeat. With one out in the sixth inning right fielder Andy Pettorini (.333) walked and then scored the only run of the game on left fielder Matt Merrill's (.308) double. Gavagan (1-1 0.00), only 19 years old, limited Fairfax to six hits, fanned four and issued only one walk. He just recently joined the Champions and has been outstanding in 5 relief appearances and two starts. Gavagan has yet to give up an earned run in 25 innings. His only loss was 2-1 to La Claire in his first start. Jackie Leslie (11-7 3.50) dropped a tough decision, holding Arlon to just four hits and a run in seven innings.

Sugar Valley, Glasco and Valmara all had 9-game losing streaks earlier this season. Now the first place Fairfax Frogs (51-36) have the record all to themselves. The Frogs had a 14-game lead over third place Arlon when they began the abysmal skid. The lead has dwindled to 7. Second place Bayview trailed by 9 games at the time. Now the Vikings are 6 games out.

Lynx Blank Vikings 1-0
The Bayview Vikings continue to flounder and failed to pick up ground on the slump-ridden Fairfax Frogs in the TU West Division. The Vikings were blanked 1-0 by La Claire at Capitol Park Stadium. Pat Daniels and Munoto Kishata combined for the shutout. Daniels (9-3 3.66) needed help with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth, but salvaged the win, when Kishata (4-7 3.26) retired Bob Klostermann (.266) on a grounder to end the game and pick up his 10th save. Daniels permitted six hits, walked two and struck out four. The loser was Jesus Carvajal (9-6 4.11), who went seven innings, allowed eight hits, walked none and fanned five in a fine outing. Second baseman Darrell Boyce (.253) got the game-winner when he blasted his 11th roundtripper of the year for the only run in the game in the bottom of the seventh.

Bayview (46-42) is in the runner-up spot in the standings, but still 6 games behind the Fairfax Frogs (51-35). While the Frogs have lost 10 straight games, the Vikings have only been 4-6 during that span. The La Claire Lynx (41-45) are 10 games off the pace and in fourth place.

Bucs Win 4th Straight, Slip by Sox 5-4
The last team you'd think would go on a 9-1 roll would be the last place Bay St. Clair Buccaneers - but that's just what Skipper Guy Rondre's team has done. They won their 4th straight game, slipping by Blue Lake 5-4 to give the Blue Sox a 4th loss in a row. A four-run seventh put the Bucs ahead 5-2 and they hung on to win it. In the decisive inning, left fielder Charley Moon (.279) delivered a two-run double, pinchhitter Ed Albrecht (.444) had an RBI single and right fielder Jose Valenzuela (.293) socked a sac fly. Righthander Duncan McFalls (6-2 3.50) recorded the victory with six strong innings. He stopped Blue Lake on just two hits and two runs, only one of them earned. The loss went to Derek Manetti (5-6 4.02), who started and was touched for five runs in seven innings.

The defeat dropped Blue Lake (40-45) to fifth place in the Tyrobbian Union West race, 10.5 games out of the top spot. The Buccaneers (37-50) are 14.5 games behind the leading Fairfax Frogs and are lagging way behind in the division basement.
