Tycobbian Union - East Division

Z's Callahan Blanks Stallions 6-0
The fifth place Luxora Zorros blanked the division co-leader, the South Fork Stallions, 6-0 on Keith Callahan's superb pitching. Callahan (16-12 3.20) fired a three-hit jewel, holding them to just three singles, fanning nine and walking none. In fact, there were no extra-base hits in the game. Luxora got seven hits, all singles. First baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.304) and shortstop Vince Cooper (.281) led them with two runs batted in each. Ken Olson (14-14 3.09) lost the game and didn't finish the first inning as he was slammed for five runs, although three of them were unearned.

The loss cost South Fork (78-63) a chance to move ahead of Ginza (78-63) in the race for the top spot in the Tycobbian Union East Division. Luxora (66-75) is the number five team and is 12 games out.

'Canes Trip Up Ninjas 4-3 in 13 Innings
The Cape Coral Hurricanes rang up 17 hits to just 8 for the Ginza Ninjas, but still took 13 innings to subdue them 4-3. The Hurricanes left 14 runners on base before first baseman Rodger Wooten (.303) finally decided the game with an RBI single, making a winner of reliever Max Darenhauer (1-0 3.38). It was his first career win in the IPA. He retired the last four batters in the game. Emil Kreskas (1-1 2.06) suffered the loss as he came on in the last of the thirteenth and gave up the winning run. Sparking the Cape Coral attack were left fielder Rod Kelly (.294) with his 21st homer and right fielder Danny Muliins (.252) with his 17th.

The Ginza Ninjas (78-63) remained tied with South Fork (78-63) for first place in the TU East. Cape Coral (69-72) is in third and is 9 games off the pace.

Hartsdale Dumps Ozarka 8-4
The visiting Hartsdale Hellcats dumped Ozarka 8-4 today at Ellie Ewing Stadium with a barrage of 14 hits, led by left fielder Jay Luna's (.271) three hits and right fielder Dan Rogers' (.300) 10th home run. On the hill Phil Reed (16-10 3.13) won his third straight, tossing eight innings and giving up four runs on five hits. Reliever Danny Griffin finished the game with a perfect ninth, retiring all three batters he faced. Losing pitcher Sid Hyder (10-4 2.74) was battered for seven runs in seven innings, three of them unearned. It was Hyder's first setback in over a month. He had won his last six decisions.

Hartsdale (65-76) is in last place, but is getting closer to escaping it. They trail fourth place Ozarka (67-74) by two games and fifth place Luxora (66-75) by a game. The Hellcats are 13 games back of Ginza (78-63), the TU East's top club.
