Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Hill Shuts Down Marston 7-0
Four solitary singles is all Marston managed against Gary Hill of the Waleska Westerners as he shut them out 7-0 at Legends Field. Hill (15-9 4.03) whiffed eight and did not give up a walk in a standout performance. The Westerners walloped 12 hits and were paced by catcher Mac Wilkins (.223) with a perfect 4-4 day with an RBI, right fielder Charlie Williamson (.318) got two hits and batted in two runs and third baseman Yoshihide Nishida (.282) collected three hits, scored twice and had an RBI. 20-game winner Nick Pace (20-13 2.91) failed again to get his 21st victory. Pace exited early in the fifth by giving up five runs and six hits.

Even with the defeat, Marston (82-61) has a 5-game lead over runner-up Forest City (77-66) in the RU South race. Waleska (66-77) is in fourth place and is 16 games behind the leader.

FC Noses Out Rattlers 5-3
Forest City rang up its fourth successive win and dealt Sugar Valley's playoff hopes a harsh blow as the Lumberjacks nosed them out 5-3. The Rattlers have lost their last three contests. Vinny Edelman (13-13 3.48) gave up nine hits in his eight and two-thirds innings, but was stingy with the runs, yielding only three. He struck out five and walked one. Johnny Marsh (0-0 0.90) was summoned in from the bullpen in the ninth with the bases loaded and he got hard-hitting Freddie Vaux (.349) on an infield popup to end the contest. The Lumberjacks smacked 14 hits and were led by first baseman J. T. Edmonds (.301) with 2-for-4, including his 19th home run. Edmonds also scored twice and batted in two runs. Rattler catcher Slingshot McFall paced Sugar Valley with two RBIs. Paul Haines (10-11 4.00) registered the loss, being shelled for 12 hits and five runs in four innings.

The second place Lumberjacks (77-66) are 5 games behind the RU South leader, the Marston Nine (82-61). Sugar Valley (74-69) is third in the standings and 8 games out. The Rattlers are one game back of Valmara (75-68) in the fight for the last wild card in the league. Forest City is pretty much a cinch for the other one.

Sunbirds Trim Claxton 7-5
Home runs carried Belair Beach to a 7-4 triumph over the Claxton Diamonds at Avalon Stadium. The IPA home run leader Nicky Swift (.327) belted two more today to give him 43 for the year. First baseman Phil Gravelli (.334) also unloaded his 31st for the season. The Sunbirds surged ahead 7-2 after three innings and the held off the Diamonds. Claxton right fielder Dixie Baker (.299) socked his 37th roundtripper and catcher Howie Peterson notched his 6th. Tiny Lindgren (5-7 3.76) labored, but got the victory. He gave up five runs and pitched into the ninth, needing help from Lou Zanelli (8-9 3.43). Zanelli picked up his 14th save by retiring the last two batters in the game. Belair Beach got to losing pitcher Sammy Melton (7-7 3.36) early and disposed of him in the five-run first frame.

The Sunbirds and Diamonds are now tied for last place in the RU South standings with identical 65-78 marks, 17 games out of first.
