Ruthlandian Union - North Division

FM's Luzzatti Stops V's 3-1
The RU North leader, Far Mountain, opened up a series with third place Volusia at the Jailhouse and took the opener 3-1 on a fine performance by John Luzzatti (8-7 3.36). It was the Redhawks third straight triumph. The 35-year-old righthander limited the Vigilantes to six hits and a single run, struck out three and walked only one batter. Third baseman Johnny Strickland (.291) doubled in the second inning and scored on a throwing error by pitcher Brian King. Catcher Dave Davis (.382) knocked the other two runs in the seventh. King caught the loss, going seven innings, striking out seven and allowed all three runs with only two earned. Vigilante first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.301) doubled in their only run in the ninth.

The Redhawks (52-42) picked up a game on second place Colfax (50-43) and are now 1.5 games in front of them. Volusia (48-46) is third and trails by 4 games.

Elnora's Costas Cops Win from Colfax 5-2
Last place Elnora is proving to be no patsy for second place Colfax as the All-Stars have won 5 of 6 from them in the last week. The latest victory came today 5-2 in Elnora at State Fair Park. A big four-run fifth inning put the All-Stars ahead to stay, paced by new second baseman Jim Vaughan (.500), who singled in two runs, and first baseman Paul Kesler (.346) and third baseman Richie Franklin (.255) each with an RBI single. Vaughan just joined the team and played his first game along with left fielder Vic Gelder (.000). Skipper Zoggy White got an impressive game out Carl Costas, who won his third successive game. Costas (7-10 3.18) tossed a solid game, permitting only two runs and seven hits, while fanning six and walking nobody. Harry Manning (11-7 3.84) was the losing pitcher and he was sent to the showers in the fifth after allowing five runs and ten hits. Manning has lost his last three starts. Vaughan topped Elnora batters with 2-4 and three RBIs. Kesler and shortstop Johnny Zumwalt (.278) had three hits apiece. Left fielder Blinky Brandon (.304) led the Blasters at bat with a double and a homer in four at-bats, scored twice and drove one in. First baseman Dennis Cole (.329) got the other RBI.

Colfax (50-43) slipped to 1.5 games behind first place Far Mountain (52-42). Sixth place Elnora (39-55) has a long way to go and is 13 games off the pace.

Zalewski Blanks Glasco A's 11-0
The Vipers of Valmara were at home at War Memorial Stadium and they played a perfect game for their fans. Zarek Zalewski threw an 8-hit shutout, while the Vipers blistered the Glasco Athletics for 18 hits and an 11-0 stomping. It was Zalewski's (12-5 2.43) third win in a row and his IPA-leading 4th shutout of the season. He walked one and struck out six. Leading the bat barrage were shortstop Matt Mazurek (.276) with 3-for-5 and two RBIs, first baseman Tony Goudeau ((.263) with 2-for-4 and two RBIs and catcher Yoshi Motsuzuki (.293) going 3-for-5, including two doubles and an RBI. Valmara hit 7 doubles in all, one less that the league record. Young Reece Kilham (1-1 5.31), making his 3rd start, went down to defeat. He was tagged five runs and left in the fourth inning.

It was the A's (46-46) third consecutive loss as they dropped 5 games back in the standings. Valmara (45-48) is in the fifth spot and 6.5 games out.
