Tycobbian Union - West Division

Viks Rally to Beat Frogs 3-2
The second place Bayview Vikings rallied in the late innings to beat first place Fairfax 3-2. Shortstop Shorty Richards (.236) tied it with an RBI single in the seventh inning and first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.303) drove home the winning run with a single in the eighth. Earlier center fielder Phil Kanaan (.298) hit his 8th homer in the second inning. Skipper Walter Johanssen got some good pitching from starter Paul Hood and closer Buzzy Lewis. Hood gave him seven fine innings, striking out nine and holding the Frogs to two runs and five hits. Lewis (4-5 3.19) picked up the victory with two scoreless innings. Bobby Ray Trent (0-2 2.61) lost another tough decision, yielding only four hits and two earned runs in going the route. Trent finished with seven Ks and four bases on balls. Fairfax outhit the Vikings 7 to 4 with third baseman Stan Cobb (.326) going 2-for-3 with an RBI and right fielder Louie Ward (.306) 2-for-4 and scoring a run.

Fairfax (53-36) still hold a 6-game edge over Bayview (47-44) in the TU West Division.

Big Inning Wins It for Bucs
Things didn't look good for Bay St. Clair. The Buccaneers were trailing 4-0 going into the bottom of the seventh when they exploded for 5 runs to take a 5-4 comeback victory over the Arlon Champions. A pair of two-run homers quickly changed the outcome of the game. Second string first baseman Matt D'Abo (.053) and left fielder Charley Moon (.281) delivered the key hits of loser Craig Smith (11-6 2.89). It was D'Abo's first career homer and Moon's 13th. The Bucs also had the edge in hits 12 to 11. Long reliever Gary Robinson (6-9 4.43) starred with four shutout innings and five strikeouts for the win. Chris Van Arden (3-0 0.68) has been unbelievable since joining the club three weeks ago. Van Arden got his 4th save, giving up no runs in the final two innings.

Arlon (45-44) is third in the division and 8 games out of first, while Bay St. Clair (39-51) is at the tail end, 14.5 games behind.

Blue Sox West Guns Down 11 Lynx
Blue Lake's Bennie West was overpowering today at Harbor Stadium. His 97 mile an hour fastball was really blazing as he fanned 11 and held La Claire to just six singles in the 4-0 shutout. In a sterling performance West (10-9 2.92) chalked up his third shutout this year and walked no one. The Blue Sox only got 7 hits themselves, but benefited from 10 bases on balls. George Gentry (0-2 1.69) suffered the loss, being tagged for four runs in seven innings, but only two were earned. He walked 8 batters. Blue Lake was led by center fielder Donnie Frazier (.297) with two doubles and first sacker Fred Taranto (.315) with three singles.

Fourth place Blue Lake (42-46) trails the division leader by 10.5 games and fifth place La Claire (42-47) is 11 games out.
