Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Waleska's Hill Halts Marston 4-3
Kip Sanders of Waleska hammered a two-run homer in the eighth inning to whip Marston at Legends Field 4-3. Gary Hill (9-5 4.27) stood out on the mound for the Westerners and went the route, giving up seven hits, striking out eight and walking three. Losing pitcher Casey Ledbetter (11-5 3.52) failed for the fifth time to get his 12th win. Waleska got to him for nine hits and four runs in eight innings. The Westerners were led by right fielder Charley Williamson (.294) with 3-for-4 and second baseman Wiz Taylor (.307) with 3-for-5. It was shortstop Sanders 3rd homer of the year. Catcher Eddie Allen (.248) had two hits and two RBIs for the Nine and left fielder Ronnie Horn (.292) drove in the other one.

First place Marston (47-39) saw its lead over the Westerners fall to 3.5 games with the loss. Waleska (44-43) is in third place in the RU South.

'Jacks Moore Mows Down Rattlers 9-3
At Riverside Park in Forest City, the Lumberjacks unleashed a dozen hits and Glenn Moore mowed down Sugar Valley 9-3, giving them three wins in a row and the Rattlers a fifth straight loss. Moore (9-7 3.12) blanked them for the first six innings, yielding six hits overall in the game with four Ks and a walk. Third baseman Jesse Pearson (.270) sparked the 'Jacks with three hits and three RBIs with right fielder Benny Davis (.269) adding three hits, scoring twice and driving in one. Moore (.136) helped his own cause with 2-3 and two RBIs. Forest City bombed losing pitcher Hec Skurgan (0-1 6.31) for eight runs in just four innings. Sugar Valley third baseman Jorge Vargas (.343) doubled, homered and drove in all of their runs. He has now hit 23 roundtrippers this season.

Forest City, managed by Robbie Jackson, is now just a half-game behind the RU South frontrunning Marston Nine (47-39). The Rattlers (43-44) dropped back to 4.5 games off the pace in fourth place.

Sunbirds Score Late to Beat Diamonds 5-1
For six innings it was a fine pitchers' duel between righthander Ken Frey of Belair Beach and Claxton lefthander Sammy Melton with Melton (.429) having the edge 1-0 on his own third-inning homer. But in the seventh and eighth, it all took a turn for the worst for Melton and the Diamonds. The Sunbirds went in front 2-1 on an RBI single by third baseman Dom Corbelli (.268) and shortstop Danny Church's (.244) sacrifice fly. Second baseman Rick Sullivan (.266) then added three more the next inning on a bases-loaded double to finish off Melton 5-1 and run the Sunbirds win skein to five games. Frey (6-7 3.47) hurled an impressive game, stopping Claxton on six hits, while fanning six and walking two. Sullivan and right fielder Matty McDermott (.335) led Belair Beach with three hits apiece. Melton (1-1 3.78) gave up five runs in seven-plus innings for the loss. He fanned nine.

Belair Beach (39-49) is last in the division standings, but is on the rise with 6 wins in the last 10 games. The Sunbirds trail by 9 games, while Claxton (42-47) is now 6.5 games out.
