Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ninjas Nip Nats 2-1 Behind Nakayama
Two fine hurlers went at it at Ninja Stadium in Ginza today in the division's only single game. Both Ginza's Kazuhiro Nakayama and Ozarka's Yasuyuki Nakagawa were outstanding. Neither one deserved to lose, but one did -- on an error in the bottom of the ninth. The Ninjas nipped the Naturals 2-1 on shortstop Gil Lantz's bases-loaded error. He botched a ground ball to cost his club the game. It was the Ninjas third successive win over Ozarka. Nakayama (10-10 2.76) limited Ozarka to just three hits, struck out seven and walked two for the victory, while Nakagawa (10-12 3.33) permitted only five hits, walked two and fanned two. Ginza scored first on a sacrifice flyball by Tommy Fujimoto (.279) in the first inning. That stood up until the fourth, when Nats left fielder Ronnie Patterson (.236) doubled and scored on first baseman Floyd Snow's (.236) double.

The Ginza Ninjas (59-43) topped the TU East Division and enjoy a 3-game edge over second place South Fork (57-47). The Ozarka Naturals (49-53) are fourth and are 10 games back.

Zorros Zip Past Stallions 7-2
In the opening game of a twinbill Luxora zipped past South Fork 7-2 behind 20-year-old Keith Callahan, who struck out 11 Stallions in the game. Callahan (11-8 3.18) gave up seven hits and walked none in a solid performance. The Zorros backed him up with a 12-hit barrage. Leading the way was first baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.321) with a three-run homer, his 15th of the year. Shortstop Vince Cooper (.320) chipped in three hits, scored twice and drove in one for the Z's. Everybody in the lineup except for Callahan got a hit. Luxora beat one of the better pitchers in the IPA, Ken Connor (9-5 2.87). They ripped him for five runs in less than two innings.

Stallions Split With Z's, Win Nightcap 3-2
The South Fork Stallions came back in the second game and split the doubleheader with Luxora, taking the nightcap 3-2. Kris Gervais hit the game-winning single in the top of the eighth. Vince Bernini (5-3 2.35) went eight innings for the win, stopping the Zorros on five hits and two runs with eight Ks and one walk. Glenn Turnbull (6-5 3.06) pitched a perfect ninth for his 5th save. Hard-luck Tito Tovares (1-5 2.30) got another tough loss in a well-pitched outing. He went the distance, gave up three runs on ten hits, struck out 11 and walked only two batters. Leading the offense for South Fork were left fielder Gervais (.245) and shortstop Bobby Riley (.250). They hit solo homers in the fifth inning. Left fielder Pedro Vizquel (.305) doubled in the first run for Luxora in the fourth frame and the second run scored on an throwing error in the sixth. That tied up the score at 2-2.

On the day second place South Fork (57-47) dipped a half-game further back in the race. The Stallions dropped 3 games behind the leader Ginza (59-43). Fifth place Luxora (46-56) is 13 games out.

3rd Straight For H'Cats, Take Opener From 'Canes
In the first game of a doubleheader, Hartsdale racked up it third straight victory over third place Cape Coral. The Hellcats thumped the Hurricanes 5-2 at Pioneer Park. Mitch Yassen (3-2 3.44) tossed six innings for the win, giving up two runs and eight hits with Jackie Bond (4-2 3.70) getting his first save with three scoreless innings of one-hit ball. Second baseman Francisco Abreu (.280) led the 9-hit Hartsdale attack with his 20th homer. Shortstop Kenny Hall (.244) hit his 5th for the Hurricanes. Katsuyuki Nagashima (10-8 2.95) lost for the first time in four decisions, yielding nine hits and five runs in a route-going performance. He struck out 7 and issued one walk.

Hurricanes Clobber Hellcats 8-0 in Game Two
Cape Coral came back with a vengeance in the second game by thrashing Hartsdale 8-0 on Jeff Salow's 4-hit shutout. The Hurricanes humbled the Hellcats with 18 hits to snapped their three-game losing streak. Salow (4-3 2.83), a 22-year-old lefty, blanked them with six strikeouts, while walking four batters. Everyone in the Cape Coral batting order had at least one hit. Even Salow (.391) went 2-for-4. Heading the hit list for the Hurricanes were first baseman Rodger Wooten (.294), who drove in four runs with four hits, including his 21st home run on the year, and second sacker Andy Anderson (291), who added in three hits and two RBIs. Glenn Mann (7-14 3.86) dropped his his fourth decision in a row, being shellshocked for five runs and eleven hits in just four-plus innings.

Talking to BNN writers after the game, Salow's manager Huggy Miller said, "He's got the makeup. He's not afraid to challenge guys. Jeff is pretty poised out there. He knows how to pitch and how to use his stuff." This year has posted a 4-3 mark in 10 starts and has a 2.83 ERA.

Cape Coral (52-51) is now 7.5 games out of first and is third in the Tycobbian Union East. Hartsdale (45-58) stands in the basement and 14.5 games off the pace.
