Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ginza Beats Ozarka 6-3 with 4-Run 5th
The top club in the TU East, the Ginza Ninjas, rallied from a 3-1 deficit with four runs in the bottom of the fifth to smack Ozarka 6-3 and win their 4th game in a row. Kazahiro Nakayama (9-2 2.85) and closer Ken Watkins (4-5 2.95) combined in a joint effort to beat the Naturals. For Nakayama it was his 4th consecutive victory. He worked seven innings, permitted three runs and eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Watkins registered his 8th save with a scoreless eighth and ninth innings. The Ninjas mauled Ozarka for 13 hits, 11 of them off losing pitcher Yasuyuki Nakagawa (10-11 3.44), who left in the seventh after giving up five runs. Five Ginzas collected 2 hits apiece. The Ninjas socked three doubles and a homer. Shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.288), Kaz Ojima (.325) and Charlie Campbell (.300) got the two-baggers, while light-hitting second baseman Scoop McDonald hit his 4th home run of the season.

The Ginza Ninjas (56-42) moved 8 games ahead of fourth place Ozarka (48-50) with the win.

Z's Ease Past Stallions 3-2
The Luxora Zorros extended second place South Fork's losing skein to four with a 3-2 victory at De la Vega Stadium. Winner Keith Callahan (10-8 3.24) and loser Ken Conner (9-4 2.50) both pitched strong games with the only difference being left fielder Pedro Vizquel's (.301) two-run fifth-inning double. His hit put the Z's ahead to stay 3-2. Callahan struck out seven and issued two walks, while holding the Stallions to five hits. Conner gave up three runs - just one earned - on six hits, fanned five and walked four. Two costly errors led to South Fork's demise, both in the ill-fated fifth frame. Stallion right fielder Art Atkins (.312) sparked his club with two hits and an RBI, including his 7th roundtripper. New left fielder Kris Gervais (.246) hit a sac fly for the other run.

Runner-up South Ford (54-45) lost another game to first place Ginza (56-42) and dipped to 2.5 games back. Fifth place Luxora (44-53) is 11.5 games behind.

CC's Nagashima Shuts Out Hellcats 3-0
Cape Coral's stylish lefthander Katsuyuki Nagashima weaved his magic and shut out Hartsdale at Pioneer Park 3-0 today. Sparking the Hurricanes 9-hit offense was second baseman Andy Anderson (.285) with a two-run single in the fourth to snap a scoreless duel with Phil Reed (9-6 2.93) of the Hellcats. Shortstop Kenny Hall (.248) added the last run in the sixth with an RBI single. Nagashima (10-7) allowed just six hits, while walking two and fanning five. Reed only gave up one earned run in suffering his fourth consecutive defeat. It was Nagashima third straight victory and put a halt to the Hurricanes three-game slide.

Third place Cape Coral (50-48) trails first place Ginza (56-42) by 6 games and Hartsdale (42-56) dropped 14 games back with the loss. The Hellcats are last in the Tycobbian Union East.
