Tycobbian Union - West Division

Bucs Bump Off Frogs 4-2, Gross Wins 13th
The last place Bay St. Clair Buccaneers continue to roll. They took the opener of a 5-game series with first place Fairfax 4-2 at the Frog Pond as Norm Gross picked up his 13th victory of the season. Gross (13-7 3.35) tired in the seventh and needed help from Gary Robinson (6-9 4.42) to get the side out. Gross went six and two-thirds innings, gave up no runs and six hits, fanned eight Frogs and walked three. Closer Chris Van Arden (3-1 1.96) came on with a 4-0 lead and was treated harshly in the ninth as Fairfax mounted a fair comeback. He walked three and gave up four hits over two innings, but finally retired the Frogs. Bobby Ray Trent (2-3 2.74) pitched into the eighth inning, surrendering four runs and eleven hits, but only two of the runs were earned. Leading the Bucs at bat were first baseman George Lyons (.262), who went 3-for-4, including his 19th home run, second baseman Tony Mann (.332) with 3-for-4 and two RBIs and Charley Moon (.295) with 3-for-5. First baseman Earl Hutchinson (.259) knocked in both Frog runs with a double in the ninth. The Bucs outhit Fairfax 12 to 10.

After the game manager Guy Rondre told BNN that Gross developed a bad blister and would be out one-two weeks. Rondre said righthander Duke DeVree would take Gross place on the roster. DeVree would be used in relief with Jeremiah McDonald (1-2 3.12) moving into Gross' spot in the rotation.

Fairfax (56-42) lead over last place Bay St. Clair is now 11.5 games.

Viks Defeat Champs 6-2 with Wells Winner
Bayview righthander Frank Wells gave manager Walter Johanssen a good outing as he defeated Arlon 6-2 at Derby Downs, dropping them down to fourth in the standings. Wells (9-7 3.77) went eight solid innings, giving up only one earned run on seven hits with six strikeouts. Left fielder Glenn Burns, a 36-year-old vet, provided three RBIs with a double and a triple to pace the Vikings. Bayview's great second baseman Alan Hansen (.400) reached the .400 mark with 2-3 today. He also scored two runs. Backup first sacker Chauncey Quibedeaux (.300) went 2-for-4 in a rare start and drove in a run, subbing for slugger Dwayne Coleman (.299/30 HR/91 RBI), who got the day off. Craig Smith (1108 3.36) was tagged with the loss. He was shelled for five runs in seven innings with five walks. Left fielder Matt Merrill (.320) had three hits for the Champions and center fielder Jerry Keller (.292) had two hits and an RBI to led them at the plate.

Bayview (52-48) is in second place in the TU West standings and has a 3-game edge over Arlon (48-50). The Vikings trail first place Fairfax (56-42) by 5 games, while the fourth place Champs are 8 back.

Blue Sox West Stops Lynx 3-1
Blue Lake's All-Star power pitcher Bennie West stopped La Claire 3-1 on a 6-hitter. West (12-9 2.95) fanned six and walked three in a route-going performance. Backing him up with the bats were center fielder Donnie Frazier (.290), second baseman Ken Bennett (.268) and new third baseman Jamey O'Herlihy (.250), all with an RBI each. La Claire's Kimo Orlando (4-4 2.61) lost it, but pitched well, surrendering three runs and seven hits over eight innings. Orlando whiffed five and walk two batters. Second baseman Darrell Boyce (.239) put the only Lynx run on the scoreboard in the second inning with his 15th homer.

Blue Lake (49-49) took over undisputed possession of third place with the win. They moved ahead of the Arlon Champions (48-50) by a game. The Blue Sox are 7 games behind Fairfax (56-42) in the Tycobbian Union West Division, while Arlon is 8 games out of first.
