Tycobbian Union - West Division

Fairfax Trims Buccaneers 5-3
At the Frog Pond, first place Fairfax slowed down the red-hot Bay St. Clair Buccaneers 5-3 in the only single game scheduled in the TU West today. Bobby Ray Trent (3-3 2.78), new to Harry Buckley's rotation, did his job once again. He hurled the entire game, setting down the best-hitting club in the TU West on two runs and nine hits with six strikeouts and a couple of base on balls. Right fielder Gregg Vincent (.324), who recently missed two weeks due an ankle injury, looked like his old self again and slugged homer #27. Third baseman Stan Cobb (.322) also belted one in the stands, his 11th this year. Center fielder Billy Echevarria (.288) added in two hits and scored twice for the Frogs. Losing pitcher Jeremiah McDonald (1-3 2.83), who has been converted to a starting role by skipper Guy Rondre since coming to Bay St. Clair, suffered some faulting fielding and gave up 4 unearned runs. He departed after six innings, trailing 4-3. In all McDonald surrendered four runs and five hits with seven strikeouts and two bases on balls. Second baseman Tony Mann (.331) paced the Bucs with 2-for-4, two runs scored and two driven in. Mann collected his 8th home run in the game.

Fairfax (58-44) has an 11.5-game lead over last place Bay St. Clair (47-56).

Arlon's Smith KO's Viks on 2-Hits 6-1
Arlon scored often and early in beating second place Bayview 6-1 in the opening game of the twinbill. The Champs battered losing pitcher Frank Wells (9-8 4.00) for all six runs in the first four innings. They also got some great pitching by Craig Smith (12-8 3.24), who stopped the Vikings on just two singles, an RBI single in the first by center fielder Phil Kanaan (.301) and a single in the third by second baseman Alan Hansen (.398). Smith piled up eight strikeouts and walked four in a sensation mound performance. Batting-wise Arlon was led by shortstop Bama Hartley (.275) with 3-5 and two runs scored, left fielder Matt Merrill (.314) with a two-run double and center fielder Jerry Fuller (.294), who had two hits, scored a run and drove one in.

Champs Take Twinbill From Bayview
Arlon's Ace Howe (8-9 3.27) tossed a 5-hitter in game two of the doubleheader to sweep the second place Bayview Vikings . Howe halted a personal three-game losing string with a 4-1 triumph. He went a month without a win. The Champions collected 8 hits in the game with right fielder Andy Pettorini (.333) getting three of them, center fielder Jerry Keller (.296) had two, first baseman Brad Ray (.247) drove in a pair of runs and third baseman Bubba Tate (.325) slammed his 6th roundtripper of the season. That sent Paul Hood (8-5 3.20) down to defeat. He was slapped around for all four runs and 8 hits in six-plus innings.

Second place Bayview's (54-51) double defeats plunged them 5.5 games behind the TU West's top club, the Fairfax Frogs (58-44). Arlon's (51-52) twin wins moved them into a tie for third in the standings with the Blue Lake Blue Sox (51-52).

Sox Outlast Lynx in Opener, Win 4-2 in 16 Innings
The first game of the doubleheader at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire went to the visiting Blue Lake Blue Sox 4-2 in 16 innings. With two outs in the top of the 16th, two singles and a walk loaded the bases for catcher Seitaro Ohayashi (.198), who dumped a dying quail into right field to score two runs. Clint McPherson (5-5 4.30) pitched the last two innings for the win, allowing no runs. The loss went to Nick Baumgartner (3-8 3.71), who worked the final four innings and gave up two runs and five hits. The Blue Sox were outhit in the game by the Lynx 14 to 11. Bennie West (12-9 2.90) and Russ Courtney (5-3 2.20) both pitched well for Blue Lake. West worked the first nine and gave up two runs on six hit, while Courtney went the next five and blanked the Lynx on five hits. La Claire starter Kimo Orlando (4-4 2.58) pitched eight innings, allowed two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts. Munoto Kishata (4-9 3.81) and Andy Murray (3-1 3.12) both tossed two scoreless innings.

Lynk Wallops Blue Sox 8-5 For Split
La Claire rebounded in the nightcap to wallop Blue Lake 8-5 and divide the doubleheader. The Lynx were powered by four home runs. First baseman Francisco Robles (.293), center fielder Lucky Collins (.320), left fielder Rich Hart (.257) and right fielder Antonio Guerrero (.278) all hit two-run homers. George Gentry (3-2 2.35) pitched into the ninth, gave up five runs on ten hits, fanned 11 and walked five for the victory. A three-run rally in the ninth sent him to the showers. Henny Cossaboom (0-0 3.68) got the last two outs and his first save of the season. Neil Krogstad (2-2 3.21) suffered the defeat, allowing five runs in six innings. Robles led La Claire with 3-for-5, while Blue Sox center fielder Donnie Frazier (.297) went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and right fielder Doyle Osborne (.347) 3-for-4. Frazier hit his 17th roundtripper and Osborne got number two on the year. Both clubs got ten hits each.
