Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Redhawks Wallop 4 HRs, Rout Vipers 9-1
Leading 2-1 in the seventh inning, Far Mountain exploded for 7 runs in the next two innings to rout Valmara 9-1. The Redhawks walloped four homers and got a strong outing from Sonny Elliott on the mound. Left fielder Karl Dietz (.238) hit his 26th of the year in the fifth inning, good for two runs to take a 2-1 lead. In the seventh, shortstop Joey Cannizzaro (.333) swatted a two-run homer and second baseman Steve Kaminski (.300) hit a solo shot. Third baseman Johnny Strickland (.279) finished it off with a grand slam in the eighth, number 19 for him. Elliott (17-13 2.95) had an easy time with the Vipers, holding them to one run and six hits with eight strikeouts and no walks. Starter Todd Turner (15-10 4.00) was the losing pitcher. He worked six innings and was charged with three runs, while giving up only two hits.

First place Far Mountain (80-64) improved a game on second place Valmara (75-69) and now lead by 5 games. The Redhawks magic number is down to two. Any combination of Far Mountain wins and Valmara losses that total two will give the regular series division title to the Redhawks. The Vipers are still in the running for one of the two playoff spots.

V's Sandoval Sizzles, Blanks A's 1-0
Volusia's Raul Sandoval got his third shutout of the season with 1-0 victory over the Glasco Athletics at the Jailhouse. It kept the Vigilantes in the wild card race for the last slot with Valmara and Sugar Valley. Sandoval (17-15 3.21) allowed just six hits, all singles, fanned seven and walked two for his 17th win of the season. Glasco's Jake Nyberg (2-4 3.86) was almost as tough, yielding only one run and six hits in seven innings. Nyberg had seven Ks and issued a pair of walks. The only run of the game came in the third inning. New shortstop Shane Wells (.250), playing in his first game, led off with a single and was batted around on a double by first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.284). A's left fielder Ox Beauvais (.337) had three of the six hits allowed by Sandoval.

The Vigilantes (74-70) are third in the RU North and are 6 games off the pace. They are contending for the final wild card with the Valmara Vipers (75-69) and Sugar Valley Rattlers (74-70). The Athletics (69-75) are fifth in the division and 16 games behind.

Elnora Edges Colfax, Costas Wins 15th
Elnora's Carl Costas went the distance as the All-Stars edged Colfax 4-3 today at the Blasters home field, Mountain View Stadium. Costas pitched a steady game, holding the Blasters to three runs on nine hits with eight strikeouts and perfect control. He walked none in the game. First sacker Paul Kesler provided three RBIs to pace the All-Stars at-bat. He singled in two runs in the first frame and sent the last run home on a groundout in the fifth. Left fielder Quincy Peterson (.301) went 2-for-4, scored three runs and batted in one with his 26th home run. Colfax second baseman Tucker Hill (.342) clouted his 6th homer in the eighth inning. The Blasters had nine hits to eight for the winners. The losing pitcher was righthander Andy Haig (1-1 2.48), who made his first start in the IPA and did well. Haig allowed four runs and eight hits in eight innings of work. Only three were earned. He fanned five and gave up two walks.

Glasco (68-75) is fifth in the Ruthlandian Union North Division, 11 games in back of first place Far Mountain (80-64). Elnora (64-80) is last in the standings, 16 games out.
